Allan Cunningham Memorial
If you ignore the turnoff to the national park and continue straight ahead it will take
you, after 3 km, to a lovely picnic site on the northern side of Coolah Creek where you
will find the Allan Cunningham Memorial.
In 1823 Cunningham became the first known European in the district when he followed this route to Pandora's Pass which took him over the Warrumbungle Range where he gazed down upon the Liverpool Plains.
The grazing potential of the plains did not go unnoticed by the explorer and they quickly attracted squatters in search of pastures.
If you continue north for 4 km it leads to Pandora'sPass (815 m above sea-level). There are excellent views back over the Coolah Valley and north over the Liverpool Plains.
