Moonbi

Moonbi is a village situated on the New England Highway 20 kilometres north of Tamworth, New South Wales, Australia.

It is nestled at the foot of the Moonbi Range and is part of the Tamworth Regional Council local government area.

Moonbi has erected a large fibreglass chicken in recognition of the poultry industry centred here.

A village was settled there in the 1850s when bullock teams and travellers began passing through the region in search of new land for their livestock.
