About Diehard

Diehard is a small rural locality in the New England region of New South Wales, located approximately 50 kilometres north-east of Guyra near the Northern Tablelands. Sitting at elevation in the ranges near the Queensland border, the area is characterised by high-altitude pastures, clear skies, and sparse settlement typical of the far northern tablelands. The locality has a very small population and is primarily used for grazing and farming.

Life in Diehard revolves around a quiet, self-sufficient rural existence in one of the more remote parts of the New England Tablelands. The nearest service centre is Tenterfield, around 40 kilometres away, while Guyra to the south provides basic amenities. The region is known for its cool climate, wide open spaces, and spectacular star-gazing conditions due to the absence of light pollution. It is suited to those who value solitude, wide rural landscapes, and a genuine off-grid lifestyle.

Diehard falls under postcode 2370 and is governed by the Glen Innes Severn Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Page, while state elections fall under the Northern Tablelands electorate.
