BLACK STUMP REST AREA The Old Black Stump Wine Saloon built in the 1860's and destroyed by fire in 1908 and at this spot is The Black Stump Rest Area. About 10 kilometres north of Coolah at a road junction. The pub was apparently named after the nearby Black Stump Run and Black Stump Creek. As if to strengthen the claim, it is said the Aboriginal name of the area means 'place where the fire went out and left a black stump'. A rest area has been established by the road at the approximate site of the old saloon. There is, of course, a black stump to mark the spot. read more ...
