About Tintaldra

Tintaldra is a tiny riverside village situated on the Upper Murray River in north-eastern Victoria, approximately 100 kilometres east of Wodonga within the Towong Shire. Covering around 75 square kilometres of beautiful river country and forested hills, the locality recorded only 66 residents in the 2021 census, making it one of Victoria's most sparsely populated places. The village sits on the NSW border, with the Murray River forming a natural boundary between the two states.

Tintaldra is a popular spot for fishing, camping, and water-based recreation on the Upper Murray, attracting visitors to its iconic river flats and forest surrounds that form part of the broader Alpine region. The historic Tintaldra Hotel and the Corryong township (around 35 km south) provide the nearest services. Residents enjoy an exceptionally peaceful rural lifestyle surrounded by the Snowy Mountains foothills, and the area is popular with retirees, hobby farmers, and those seeking a genuine off-the-beaten-track escape.
