About Lalalty

Lalalty is a sparsely settled rural locality in the southern Riverina region of New South Wales, situated within the Berrigan Shire local government area. The locality lies roughly halfway between the towns of Berrigan, Barooga, Tocumwal, and Finley, covering approximately 111 square kilometres of flat agricultural land near the Murray River plain. With a 2021 Census population of just 88 residents, Lalalty is one of the smallest localities in the Riverina, characterised by large farming properties and wide open pastoral landscapes.

The area is predominantly given over to cropping and cattle grazing, reflecting the rich alluvial soils of the southern Riverina. The nearest substantial towns — Tocumwal (approximately 18 kilometres) and Berrigan — provide essential services including schools, medical facilities, shops, and transport connections. Lalalty has no local shops, schools, or public transport, and a private vehicle is essential for daily life. The region is known for its warm summers, productive farmland, and the relaxed pace of life typical of the Murray River country.

Lalalty falls under postcode 3644 and is governed by the Berrigan Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Farrer, while state elections fall under the Ovens Valley (Northern Victoria) electorate.
