About Koraleigh
Koraleigh is a small rural locality in the Riverina region of New South Wales, located approximately 35 kilometres north of the Murray River town of Moulamein and around 120 kilometres south of Hay. With a population of 291 at the 2021 Census spread across 145 square kilometres of flat, semi-arid agricultural land, it is one of the more isolated communities in the Murray electorate. The locality lies within a predominantly dryland farming and grazing landscape characteristic of the NSW far south-west.
Life in Koraleigh centres on pastoral and cropping agriculture, with wheat, canola, and sheep grazing as common pursuits across the vast surrounding properties. The community is closely connected to Moulamein, which serves as the nearest service town offering a school, general store, and community facilities. Murray River recreation, including fishing and boating at nearby Moulamein, provides a lifestyle draw. The area attracts those with a deep connection to the land, and its extreme remoteness and low land prices appeal to farming families looking to establish or expand agricultural operations.
Koraleigh falls under postcode 2735 and is governed by the Murray River Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Farrer, while state elections fall under the Murray electorate.
