In 1916, the town saw the Kookaburra March, wherein 23 men recruited men for service in World War I by marching from Tooraweenah to Bathurst. This event is memorialised through a veteran’s plaque placed on the village common. Today, many of the town’s buildings have retained their early 20th century look, even if developments have led to the town having a number of modern community amenities such as a nine-hole golf course, a hotel, an aerodrome, a caravan park and general store. Tooraweenah is also often the last stop of travellers heading to the Warrumbungle National Park from Gilgandra.
