Carroll, New South Wales

Carroll is a parish and small village on the Oxley Highway, 20 km east of Gunnedah, New South Wales.

Periodically this river floods the town and surrounding area, forcing the closure of the Oxley Highway.

Carroll is an Irish surname coming from the Gaelic O Cearbhaill and Cearbhall, meaning "fierce in battle".

[3] During December 1865 Captain Thunderbolt (Fred Ward) and two accomplices robbed the inn at Carroll then danced and drank until the police arrived.

[4] The district produces cotton, wheat, other grains, fat lambs and beef cattle.
