About Wallanthery
Wallanthery is a remote rural locality in far western New South Wales, situated within the Central Darling Shire approximately 50 kilometres north of Wilcannia. Covering an enormous 1,179 square kilometres of semi-arid mulga and Mitchell grass country, it had a 2021 Census population of approximately 50 residents. The locality encompasses vast pastoral station properties on the Darling River plains, where wool and beef cattle production are the traditional industries of this remote outback region.
Wilcannia is the nearest service town, situated on the Darling River and serving as the main supply point for the surrounding outback stations. The Darling River, with its profound ecological and cultural significance, flows through the broader region, and the outback landscapes of the far western plains are among the most iconic and isolated in New South Wales. Wallanthery suits those with a connection to outback pastoral station life, where self-sufficiency and the vast open landscapes of far western NSW define daily existence.
Wallanthery falls under postcode 2675 and is governed by the Carrathool Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Farrer, while state elections fall under the Murray electorate.
