About Niemur
Niemur is a small rural locality in the Riverina Murray region of southwestern New South Wales, situated near the confluence of the Niemur River and the Murray River system, close to the town of Moulamein. With a population of approximately 74 people spread across 270 square kilometres, it is one of the most sparsely settled localities in the region. The landscape is characterised by flat, productive agricultural land, river red gum forests along the Murray, and expansive irrigation and dryland farming properties. Niemur falls within the Edward River Council local government area.
The local economy is anchored by broadacre farming, grazing, and irrigated agriculture typical of the Murray–Murrumbidgee region, including wheat, canola, and livestock. The Niemur and Murray River corridors provide excellent fishing, boating, and birdwatching opportunities, with river red gum wetlands supporting rich birdlife. Residents travel to Moulamein or Swan Hill across the Victorian border for groceries, health services, and schooling. Life here is defined by the rhythms of farming, the quiet of the bush, and the strong sense of community that sustains small rural settlements across the Murray plains.
Niemur falls under postcode 2733 and is governed by the Murray River Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Farrer, while state elections fall under the Murray electorate.
