About Bookookoorara

Bookookoorara is a tiny rural locality in northern New South Wales, located within the Tenterfield Shire Council area near the Queensland border. Situated in the New England Tablelands region and covered by the state electorate of Lismore, the locality spans approximately 10.9 square kilometres of highland pastoral land. The 2021 Census recorded effectively no population, confirming its status as a sparse rural locality rather than a settled community. Its distinctive name reflects the Aboriginal heritage of the region's place-naming tradition.

Bookookoorara lies in the rugged New England Tablelands, a region known for its cool climate, granite outcrops and cattle grazing. The nearest service centre is Tenterfield, the 'birthplace of Federation', where residents access schools, shops and medical services. The broader area is popular with nature lovers and history enthusiasts, with the New England National Park and Gibraltar Range National Park nearby. The region supports a small but tight-knit rural community, characterised by station properties and the self-reliance typical of remote New South Wales farming districts.

Bookookoorara falls under postcode 2372 and is governed by the Tenterfield Shire Council Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Wright, while state elections fall under the Lismore electorate.
