About Murrawombie
Murrawombie is a remote rural locality in the Bogan Shire of central-western New South Wales, within postcode 2825, located approximately 40 kilometres southwest of Nyngan. With a population of just 29 at the 2021 census across nearly 400 square kilometres, it is an extremely sparsely populated pastoral area on the vast western plains. The flat, semi-arid landscape is characterised by red soil plains, scattered mulga scrub, and ephemeral creeks.
Life in Murrawombie revolves entirely around pastoral farming — sheep and cattle grazing on large station properties in the dry western NSW landscape. There are no services within the locality; residents rely on Nyngan for all shopping, schools, and amenities. The area is of interest to pastoralists and those with a deep connection to outback farming life, offering vast, affordable properties in one of NSW's most remote agricultural regions.
Murrawombie falls under postcode 2825 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Barwon electorate.
