| Cootamundra is typical
of so much of the Riverina and South West Slopes. It has history,
it has character, it has space... |  |
 | Among the many crops grown
in the fertile soils of Cootamundra are Canola (rape seed) that
produces Canola oil. |
| The town has many old buildings and heritage listed
sites, such as the Catholic Manse. |  |
 |
The railway came through
in 1877, and as a result many of the streets are lined with beautiful
trees such as the century old elm trees.
|
| There are
many beautiful old buildings from past industries such as the
railway, Conkey's abattoir and the old flour mill to see. |

|
 | An other buildings to see
include the town hall, courthouse, police station and of course
the post office and tower. |
| What visit to Cootamundra would be complete without
seeing the world famous Cootamundra Wattle (Acacia baileyana),
beautiful in bloom during August and September. |
