About Eumungerie
Eumungerie is a small rural town in the central west of New South Wales, situated within the Dubbo Regional Council local government area, 37 kilometres north of the regional centre of Dubbo and 31 kilometres south of Gilgandra. The town sits adjacent to the Newell Highway — one of Australia's major inland freight corridors — in a broad agricultural landscape approximately 423 kilometres north-west of Sydney. With a 2021 Census population of 384 residents across a locality spanning around 350 square kilometres, Eumungerie is a sparsely settled farming community embedded in the flat plains of central western NSW.
The town's most recognisable landmark is the Drovers Dog Hotel, a classic country pub that embodies the pastoral spirit of the central west. Residents rely on Dubbo for shopping, healthcare, schooling, and a full range of services, accessible in approximately 35–40 minutes along the Newell Highway. Eumungerie suits those drawn to the wide open skies, agricultural lifestyle, and tight-knit community ties typical of small rural NSW towns, where the land and a self-sufficient way of life define everyday living.
Eumungerie falls under postcode 2822 and is governed by the Dubbo Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Parkes, while state elections fall under the Dubbo electorate.
