About Dyraaba
Dyraaba is a small rural locality in the Richmond Valley local government area of northern New South Wales, located approximately 25 kilometres north-west of Casino. Covering around 66 square kilometres of hilly pastoral land, the locality has a modest population of roughly 113 residents living on rural and farming properties. The area is part of the rich agricultural hinterland of the Richmond River valley, characterised by beef cattle grazing and small mixed farms.
Life in Dyraaba is defined by the quiet rhythms of rural northern NSW, with the closest town of Casino serving as the main centre for shopping, schooling, and medical services. Casino itself is known as the 'Beef Capital of Australia', reflecting the deep-rooted beef cattle industry that underpins the local economy. The surrounding landscape features rolling green hills, native forest remnants, and creek systems typical of the Northern Rivers region. Residents value the privacy, space, and community connections that come with life on the land in this corner of New South Wales.
