About Barmedman
Barmedman is a small rural township in the Riverina region of New South Wales, located approximately 36 kilometres north-west of Temora and 490 kilometres south-west of Sydney. The town sits within the Cootamundra-Gundagai Regional Council area and had a population of around 200 at the 2021 Census, making it one of the smaller rural communities in the Riverina. Barmedman's name is derived from an Aboriginal word, and the town was established in the late 19th century with a railway connection to Temora opening in 1903. Today, the local district retains an agricultural economic base focused on wheat and canola cropping and sheep grazing.
Barmedman is a quiet, close-knit rural community characterised by wide streets, a relaxed pace of life, and strong ties to the land. The township is home to two large wheat silos with a combined capacity of over a million bushels, reflecting its agricultural significance. Barmedman Public School serves local children, and residents travel to Temora or West Wyalong for broader shopping and health services. The community is predominantly made up of farming families and retirees, with affordable housing and a genuine small-town character that appeals to those seeking a simpler lifestyle.
Barmedman falls under postcode 2668 and is governed by the Bland Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Riverina, while state elections fall under the Cootamundra electorate.
