About Bellimbopinni

Bellimbopinni is a quiet rural locality on the northern bank of the Macleay River in the Macleay Valley, within Kempsey Shire on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales. With a 2021 Census population of 82 residents across 34 dwellings spread over 15.7 square kilometres, it is a small farming community situated between the villages of Frederickton and Clybucca. The postcode area's median tax income of $39,686 reflects the predominantly agricultural and working-class character of the district.

The fertile river flats along the Macleay support beef cattle grazing, continuing a long agricultural tradition that once included dairy farming. Kempsey, the nearest major town, is just 10 minutes south and provides full services including a hospital, supermarkets, and schools. The locality's Mid North Coast location places residents within easy reach of popular beaches at South West Rocks and Crescent Head, both around 20–25 minutes away. Flood awareness is part of local life on the Macleay floodplain, but the area rewards those seeking affordable rural acreage in a scenic river valley setting.

Bellimbopinni falls under postcode 2440 and is governed by the Kempsey Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Cowper, while state elections fall under the Oxley electorate.
