About Limpinwood

Limpinwood is a small hinterland locality in Tweed Shire, north-eastern New South Wales, situated approximately 21 kilometres west of Murwillumbah and 51 kilometres from Tweed Heads. With a population of around 234 residents spread across 54 square kilometres of lush rainforest ranges, the area is one of the most scenic and secluded corners of the Tweed Valley. The locality sits on the ancestral land of the Ngandowal and Minyungbal speaking peoples of the Bundjalung Nation. Its name derives from an early settler nicknamed "Hopping Jack" Wood, a timber worker who frequented the valley in colonial times.

Limpinwood attracts residents seeking a quiet rural lifestyle surrounded by World Heritage-listed rainforest and rich biodiversity. The Limpinwood Nature Reserve borders the locality to the north-west, offering bushwalking and wildlife experiences. Residents are predominantly small-scale landholders, hobby farmers, and those escaping the pace of coastal towns. The community is tight-knit and self-sufficient, with services accessed in Murwillumbah, which offers schools, supermarkets, and medical facilities.

Limpinwood falls under postcode 2484 and is governed by Tweed Shire Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Tweed electorate.
