About Bunnaloo
Bunnaloo is a small rural locality in the Murray River Council area of New South Wales, situated in the Riverina region approximately 53 kilometres west of Deniliquin and 65 kilometres north-east of Echuca across the Murray River. With a population of 107 residents spread across 329 square kilometres of flat, irrigated pastoral land, the locality exemplifies the sparse settlement patterns typical of the southern Riverina. The locality lies within the electorate of Murray and is administered under the Murray River Council local government area.
Bunnaloo is anchored by its small community, with Bunnaloo Public School — which opened in 1928 and has served the locality for nearly a century — providing a focal point for local families. The surrounding landscape is characterised by river red gums, wheat and wool farming, and the waterways and wetlands of the Murray system. Residents rely on the nearby town of Barham (approximately 30 kilometres to the north) or Deniliquin to the east for shopping, medical services, and other amenities. The locality suits those who embrace the unhurried pace of Murray River country life.
Bunnaloo falls under postcode 2731 and is governed by the Murray River Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Farrer, while state elections fall under the Murray electorate.
