About Uralla
Uralla is a charming heritage town on the New England Tablelands, perched at over 1,000 metres elevation about 23 kilometres southwest of Armidale. With a population of 2,700, it serves as a gateway to the region where the New England Highway meets Thunderbolts Way. The town was established in 1855 during a local gold rush and maintains more than 50 buildings and sites of heritage significance.
The town is famous for its connection to bushranger Captain Thunderbolt (Frederick Ward), who is buried in the local cemetery and commemorated throughout with statues, pubs, and road names. McCrossins Mill museum showcases the legend and local history. Uralla's cool climate brings four distinct seasons including occasional snow, while the surrounding pastoral landscape offers a peaceful rural lifestyle. The town attracts tree-changers, retirees, and those seeking affordable heritage living within reach of Armidale's university town amenities.
Uralla falls under postcode 2358 and is governed by the Uralla Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of New England, while state elections fall under the Northern Tablelands electorate.
