About Calimo

Calimo is a sparsely settled rural locality in the Murray region of south-western New South Wales, situated near Deniliquin within the Edward River Council area. Covering approximately 376 square kilometres of flat, semi-arid pastoral land, the locality is typical of the Riverina Murray region — an expansive, productive agricultural district dominated by sheep grazing, beef cattle, and cereal cropping. With a population of just 71 residents, Calimo has the character of a quiet farming community set amid the wide, open plains near the Murray River system.

Calimo is connected to Deniliquin — the largest inland city in New South Wales — via Calimo Road and other regional routes. Deniliquin provides a full range of services including hospitals, schools, supermarkets, hotels, and the celebrated Deni Ute Muster festival held annually each October. The broader Murray region is known for its vast rice, wheat, and wool production, and the locality benefits from proximity to the Edward River and surrounding irrigation country. Residents enjoy a peaceful outback lifestyle with wide open skies and strong community connections to the surrounding farming districts.

Calimo falls under postcode 2710 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.
