Coleambally (/ˌkɒliˈæmbəli/)[3] is a small town in the Riverina of New South Wales, Australia, in Murrumbidgee Local Government Area.
The spine-tailed swift is one of the most powerful fliers known, wheeling and sweeping at high speed in search of flying insects.
The Coleambally Irrigation Area scheme was started in the 1950s, with potential farmland being made available through a ballot system.
In 2008, following the Federal Government's proposals to buy large amounts of water from irrigators – ostensibly to "save" the Murray-Darling Basin — the Coleambally Irrigation Area offered the entire area, including the farms, water rights and the entire town, for sale at a price of $3.5 billion.
Coleambally's distinctive wine glass shaped water tower is located in the centre of town.
A Bucyrus Class Erie Dragline is located in the Lions Park at the entrance of the town.
