MULLALEY
Mullaley is another of those very
small towns that qualifies for the synopsis. Mullaley is a small town
that is encounted when traveling the Gunnedah to Coonabarabran hgy.
One of the really cute things is the
use of the ‘old’ miles to markers in some of the driveways._small.JPG)  
Mullaley is on
the crossroads of the roads from Boggabri in the north, Premer in the
south, Gunnedah in the east and Coonabarabran in the west. The
surrounding area is part of the highly fertile Liverpool Plains
region. At the 2006 census, Mullaley had a population of 217 people
The Mullaley
district has an agricultural community that produces wheat, other
grains, fat lambs and beef cattle.
On 14 October
1999 a 40 minute storm dumped 76 mm of rain and hail on the Western
Liverpool Plains region around Mullaley causing damage to dozens of
farms. The heavy rain that fell caused localized flooding. Numerous
homes were flooded as hail-clogged roof guttering overflowed.
According to the
entry sign (2008) there are 102 people in the village. Mullaley is one
of the smallest centres accorded a review. The village now has a
public school, sports ground, roadhouse, hotel, bus service, store,
park and a stone war memorial with an honour roll.
The Goolhi Graves on Old Goolhi Station, Mullaley have been placed on
the heritage register.
The Mullaley War
Memorial is near the school. 
Mullaley,
although only 100 or so people has two churches. 
The Mullaley
Hotel is a tavern like pub on the western fringe of the township.
If the timing is
right after a look at those mile pegs a refreshment may be in order.
