About Limbri
Limbri is a small agricultural village in the New England region of New South Wales, located approximately 30 kilometres east-north-east of Tamworth on Swamp Oak Creek within the Tamworth Regional Council area. The locality sits at an elevation of approximately 477 metres on the slopes of the northern tablelands, covering a large rural area of around 168 square kilometres. With a 2021 Census population of 113, Limbri is a quiet and sparsely settled community with a median household income reflecting the modest rural character of the district.
Limbri has a long pastoral history, with sheep and cattle grazing forming the backbone of the local economy for well over a century. The original public school, which opened in 1900 to serve surrounding grazing families and celebrated its centenary, has since closed, as has the former general store, leaving a small but active Landcare community maintaining the area's rural character. Residents travel to Tamworth or Moonbi for everyday services, schools, and shopping, while the rolling countryside and Swamp Oak Creek corridor provide a scenic and peaceful setting for those who value a quiet life on the land.
Limbri falls under postcode 2352 and is governed by the Tamworth Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Lyne, while state elections fall under the Tamworth electorate.
