About Boonal
Boonal is a small rural locality in northern New South Wales, situated in the Moree Plains Shire approximately 40 kilometres south-east of Moree. Covering around 266 square kilometres of flat black soil plains country, it had a 2021 Census population of approximately 51 residents. The locality sits within one of Australia's most productive cropping regions, where cotton, wheat, and chickpeas are grown on the fertile alluvial soils of the Gwydir River catchment.
Moree is the nearest major service town, offering supermarkets, schools, healthcare, and the famous Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre known for its therapeutic bore water pools. The surrounding Moree Plains are celebrated for their agricultural productivity and the rich black soil that enables large-scale irrigated and dryland farming. Boonal suits those with a connection to the cotton and grain farming industries that define this part of north-western New South Wales.
Boonal falls under postcode 2409 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Northern Tablelands electorate.
