[1] The area that is now known as Bunnaloo originally was split between two properties: the Cobram Station and Perricoota.

In 1899, a crown lease on part of the Perricoota land expired and the New South Wales Government split a paddock into six 700 acre homestead farms to be sold in 1901.

Further subdividing of the Cobram Estate land allowed for more residents to move to the area.

This allowed for easy transport of wheat or stock (previously it had to be carted 18 miles to Mathoura).

Bunnaloo Public School opened in 1928 and is still running (despite closing from 1944 to 1951 due to World War II).

A supper room was added in 1945, and throughout the late 1950s and 1960s fundraisers were held to refurbish the hall.
