About Noonamah
Noonamah is a rural outer locality situated approximately 45 kilometres south of the Darwin CBD within the Litchfield Municipality of the Northern Territory. With a 2021 Census population of 328 residents spread across roughly 34 square kilometres, it remains a sparsely settled but growing community. The area is characterised by large rural blocks and a relaxed lifestyle typical of the Top End hinterland, sitting at the junction of the Stuart Highway corridor south of Palmerston.
The Noonamah Tourist Park and Tavern serves as a social hub for locals and passing travellers, offering accommodation and a gathering point along the highway. A nearby memorial site marks the significance of the WWII-era airstrips that once operated in the area, adding a layer of historical interest to the locality. The tropical climate brings a distinct wet and dry season cycle, and the open rural blocks attract those seeking space and a quieter lifestyle within reach of Darwin and Palmerston.
Noonamah falls under postcode 837 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Goyder electorate.
