About Narrung
Narrung is a tiny rural locality in north-western Victoria, located within the Rural City of Swan Hill at the junction of the Murray River floodplain and the Mallee scrublands near the New South Wales border. The locality spans approximately 41 square kilometres and supports a very small population of around 18 to 24 residents, living amid irrigated horticulture, dryland cropping, and pastoral properties. It lies between Boundary Bend to the north and Kooloonong to the south, in the flat, semi-arid landscape of the lower Murray.
Residents of Narrung live a deeply rural lifestyle, with the nearest meaningful services available in Robinvale (across the Murray in NSW) or Swan Hill to the south. The Murray River provides opportunities for fishing, boating, and birdwatching, and the surrounding Mallee landscape is home to significant native wildlife. The locality suits those seeking an affordable, quiet existence close to the river with a strong agricultural community spirit.
Narrung falls under postcode 3597 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Mildura (Northern Victoria) electorate.
