About Dinoga
Dinoga is a remote rural locality in northern New South Wales, situated in the Gwydir Shire approximately 60 kilometres south-west of Inverell. Covering an expansive 286 square kilometres of open pastoral and dryland cropping country, it had a 2021 Census population of approximately 51 residents. The locality is characteristic of the remote northern tablelands and plains country that stretches westward from Inverell toward the Namoi Valley.
Inverell is the nearest service town of significance, known as the Sapphire City and offering supermarkets, schools, healthcare, and community services. The surrounding Gwydir Shire encompasses some of New South Wales' most productive grazing and cropping land, with beef cattle, sheep, and broadacre grain farming the dominant agricultural activities. Dinoga suits those with a deep connection to the rural life and open landscapes of north-western New South Wales.
