About Pinkett

Pinkett is a sparsely settled rural locality on the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales, situated within Glen Innes Severn Council approximately 45 kilometres south-west of Glen Innes. Covering around 126 square kilometres of elevated pastoral and farming country, the locality sits in the New England region where cooler temperatures, open grazing land, granite outcrops, and native bushland define the landscape. The 2021 Census recorded a population of 77 residents, consistent with the low-density pastoral character of this remote tablelands area.

The surrounding country is used predominantly for beef cattle and sheep grazing, typical of the broader Glen Innes Severn region. Pinkett's elevated New England setting brings cold winters and crisp summers, with rolling tablelands offering open vistas and a quiet farming lifestyle. Glen Innes, the nearest service centre around 45 kilometres to the north-east, provides shopping, schools, health services, and a railway station on the Northern Tablelands line. There is no public transport within the locality, and private vehicles are essential for all daily travel.
