About Blackville

Blackville is a small rural locality in the Liverpool Plains area of New South Wales, situated approximately 40 kilometres west-southwest of Quirindi, within the Liverpool Plains Shire. The locality sits at around 420 metres elevation on Kamilaroi Country, covering some 279 square kilometres of open farmland and bushland. With a 2021 Census population of 128, Blackville remains a tight-knit agricultural community. The Coolah Tops National Park lies to the south, and Black Creek — a tributary of the Mooki River — meanders through the locality.

The surrounding district is classic New England tablelands farming country, with wool, beef cattle, and mixed cropping forming the backbone of the local economy. Blackville Public School serves families in the area, providing a focal point for community life. Residents rely on Quirindi for most goods and services, while Tamworth — the regional centre — is around 110 kilometres to the northeast. The landscape of rolling hills, clear skies, and wide open paddocks appeals to those seeking a genuine rural lifestyle away from urban pressures.

Blackville falls under postcode 2343 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Tamworth electorate.
