About Gineroi

Gineroi is a remote rural locality in the New England tablelands of New South Wales, situated approximately 50 kilometres west of Inverell in the Inverell Shire council area. Covering an extensive 173 square kilometres, the locality lies in the open grazing and cropping country of the western New England tablelands, characterised by black soil plains and granite hill country typical of this part of north-western NSW. With a population of around 63 residents, Gineroi is a very sparsely settled agricultural community in one of NSW's more remote inland regions.

Inverell, the nearest substantial town, provides supermarkets, schools, a hospital, and community services, and is known as the Sapphire City for its gemstone mining heritage. The broader New England region features sapphire fossicking, the Copeton Dam recreation area, and the wide-open pastoral landscapes that have defined the region's character for generations. Gineroi suits those engaged in grazing or cropping who value the remote, unhurried lifestyle of the western New England tablelands.

Gineroi falls under postcode 2404 and is governed by the Gwydir Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Parkes, while state elections fall under the Northern Tablelands electorate.
