About Moombooldool

Moombooldool is a tiny rural locality in the Riverina region of New South Wales, located approximately 50 kilometres north of Narrandera within postcode 2665. The locality covers a substantial 128 square kilometres of flat agricultural land, yet had a population of only 26 residents at the 2021 census, reflecting its character as a farming hinterland rather than a residential community. The name is of Aboriginal origin and the area has a long history of pastoral and cropping activity. It sits within the Bland Shire and Narrandera Shire boundary region.

The local economy revolves around dryland farming — primarily wheat, sheep, and cattle — typical of the broader Bland and Narrandera Shires. Residents enjoy an extremely quiet and self-sufficient lifestyle, with Narrandera being the nearest town for groceries, schools, and basic services. Griffith, approximately 80 kilometres to the south-west, serves as the regional centre for medical and commercial needs. There is no public transport of any kind; a car is essential, and the Sturt Highway provides the main road link to regional centres.

Moombooldool falls under postcode 2665 and is governed by the Coolamon Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Riverina, while state elections fall under the Murray electorate.
