About East Coraki
East Coraki is a small rural locality in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, situated approximately 577 kilometres north of Sydney and forming part of the Richmond Valley Council local government area. The locality lies east of the town of Coraki, itself positioned at the junction of the Richmond and Wilsons Rivers, and encompasses pastoral and farming land across roughly 46 square kilometres. With a population of around 222 residents and a below-average median household income, East Coraki has the typical character of a working rural locality in the NSW Northern Rivers hinterland.
The surrounding landscape is defined by the broad, flat floodplains of the Richmond River, supporting cattle grazing and mixed farming. Residents rely on the nearby township of Coraki for day-to-day services, including a small commercial centre, primary school, and community facilities. The larger centres of Casino (around 30 km south-west) and Lismore (around 40 km south-east) provide hospitals, secondary schools, supermarkets, and broader services. The Richmond Valley offers a relaxed Northern Rivers lifestyle, with easy access to the region's natural waterways and coastal hinterland.
East Coraki falls under postcode 2471 and is governed by the Lismore Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Page, while state elections fall under the Lismore electorate.
