About Beryl

The locality covers approximately 71 square kilometres and recorded a population of 117 at the 2021 Census, reflecting its character as a lightly settled farming district. The surrounding landscape is typical of the Central Tablelands — open grazing land dotted with remnant woodland and interspersed with the creeks and gentle ridgelines characteristic of the Mudgee region.

Mudgee, a regional centre celebrated for its wine industry, olive groves, and boutique produce, is within comfortable driving distance and offers a fuller range of shops, dining, medical facilities, and the annual Mudgee Wine Festival. Beryl suits those seeking an affordable rural lifestyle in a well-regarded agricultural and viticultural district, where the pace of life is set by the seasons.
