Suburb profile
Black Hollow is a residential smaller community in Coonamble with a familiar suburban feel. Remote from the metro area in the best sense: quiet streets, big skies and a town that runs on its own timetable. Retirees and empty-nesters are well represented here, with families and grandchildren still a visible part of community life.
Housing carries a premium, but residents tend to feel the lifestyle justifies the commitment. There is a settled, neighbourly feel to the area that rewards people who like knowing their patch.
This is a mature, settled pocket where the existing streetscape still defines the local character.
