About Coolongolook
Coolongolook is only a tiny town of382, but in many retrospects, it can feel like a township or a village, and many be considered a village by many (the latter term is not used in Australia). There isn't a whole lot of history behind this town, except that gold was mined in this area during the 19th century. During the late 1990s when planning for the Pacific Highway upgrade began, most towns were bypassed. However, the NSW Government decided in 2001 not to bypass Coolongolook – it wasn't cost-effective at the time, and probably still isn't today. Although traffic volumes have greatly increased today, there are no plans for Coolongolook to be bypassed, and it's unlikely there ever will be as bypassing Coolongolook will result in its demise (on top of a ghost four-lane highway through town)
