About Knorrit Forest
Knorrit Forest is a sparsely populated rural locality in the Mid-Coast Council area of New South Wales, nestled within the Manning Valley hinterland near Gloucester. Covering approximately 42 square kilometres of forested terrain at the western fringe of the Barrington Tops region, the area is dominated by tall eucalypt forest, creek systems and rugged sandstone ridges. Census data records a negligible resident population, indicating the locality functions largely as undivided rural land and conservation estate.
The Knorrit Forest area sits close to Barrington Tops National Park, making it of interest to bushwalkers, four-wheel drive enthusiasts and nature lovers seeking access to World Heritage-listed wilderness. Gloucester, approximately 25 kilometres to the east, provides the nearest services including a hospital, supermarkets and schools. The locality attracts a small number of lifestyle property holders who value extreme privacy, natural bush surroundings and proximity to one of New South Wales' most spectacular highland national parks.
Knorrit Forest falls under postcode 2424 and is governed by the Mid-Coast Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Lyne, while state elections fall under the Upper Hunter electorate.
