About Gobarralong
Gobarralong is a small rural community in the central-eastern Riverina of New South Wales, located within the Cootamundra-Gundagai Regional Council area. It sits approximately 16 kilometres southeast of Coolac and 27 kilometres northwest of Adjungbilly, nestled in a scenic valley at around 199 metres elevation. The 2021 Census recorded a population of 63 people, reflecting its character as a quiet, tightly knit farming community.
The Gobarralong Valley is known for its pastoral beauty, with grazing properties and remnant bush framing a tranquil rural landscape. The area has a modest history — its post office, originally opened in 1876 as North Gobarralong, served the community until 1967. Today, residents rely on Coolac, Gundagai, or Cootamundra for services, making Gobarralong a retreat for those who value space, silence, and the slower pace of regional NSW life.
Gobarralong falls under postcode 2727 and is governed by the Cootamundra-Gundagai Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Riverina, while state elections fall under the Cootamundra electorate.
