Don’t miss stopping by Thallon’s beautiful town park, for a selfie with “William the Wombat”, a giant sculpture (two metres high and 3.5 metres long) of a critically endangered Northern Hairy-Nosed Wombat. Thallon has a special connection to the northern hairy-nosed wombat with some of the earliest specimens found in the area.

The land along the Moonie River in what is now the Thallon district was already occupied by cattle stations when Sir Major Thomas Mitchell passed through it in 1846. Thallon’s History Booklets allow you to step back into the early European history of the district. Take the Old Town walking tour to learn about Thallon…

Thallon’s town park is a perfect place to stop and break the drive with shady trees and facilities including a playground, picnic tables, free electric BBQ and toilets. The park also features a granite ‘Anzac Digger’ war memorial statue built by the Thallon Progress Association to commemorate the Centenary of Gallipoli.
