About Jingellic

Jingellic is a small and picturesque rural locality on the upper Murray River in the South West Slopes region of New South Wales, straddling the boundaries of Greater Hume Shire and Snowy Valleys Council. The locality covers over 151 square kilometres of river flats, forested hills, and farming land, and had a population of 73 at the 2021 Census. The settlement developed around a river crossing on the Murray, with the original bridge completed in 1892 and a replacement steel truss bridge built in 1959 that shifted through-traffic away, leaving the historic township quietly tucked beside the river.

Jingellic is best known for the historic Bridge Hotel, a beloved regional pub that draws visitors from across the Riverina and from Victorian border towns of Walwa and Tintaldra just across the Murray. A well-used campground on the river bank below the hotel makes the locality a popular destination for fishing — particularly the legendary Murray Cod — kayaking, and relaxed bush camping. The town hosts an annual agricultural show each March with a strong equestrian focus. Tumbarumba is the nearest substantial service town, approximately 45 kilometres to the south, while Albury is the closest regional centre, about 112 kilometres to the west.

Jingellic falls under postcode 2642 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Wagga Wagga electorate.
