Cumbo Gunnerah (Red Kangaroo)

The monument, known as the Red Kangaroo Memorial, commemorates Aboriginal warrior, Cumbo Gunnerah, who was buried adjacent to this spot. In the 1960s, the Gunnedah Historical

Society erected a sign to mark the burial site of "The Red Chief". This sign still stands on the footpath near the corner of Abbott and Little Conadilly Streets. In 1984, a sculpture, designed by Dennis Adams and in consultation with local Aboriginals and the New South Wales

National Parks and Wildlife Service, was erected to complete the site.
