About Quipolly

Quipolly is a small rural locality in the Liverpool Plains region of New South Wales, located within Liverpool Plains Council, approximately 8 kilometres south of Werris Creek and around 50 kilometres north of Tamworth. Covering a vast area of nearly 157 square kilometres, the locality had a population of 215 at the 2021 Census — down from 327 in 2006 — reflecting the long-term decline common to small agricultural settlements across inland New South Wales. The median household income of approximately $37,944 reflects the area's rural economic base, primarily centred on grazing and cropping on the fertile Liverpool Plains.

Quipolly has a proud pastoral and railway heritage — a station on the Main North railway line operated here from 1879 until its closure in 1974, and the old platform site remains a reminder of the locality's busier past. Today, the area is characterised by wide open paddocks, dry creek beds, and the quiet rhythms of agricultural life on the Liverpool Plains. Practical services are available in Werris Creek and Tamworth, with Tamworth offering the full range of regional amenities including hospitals, schools, and shopping. The locality attracts those drawn to affordable rural properties and a working farm lifestyle on some of the most productive land in regional New South Wales.
