About Warral

Warral is a small rural locality south of Tamworth in the New England region of New South Wales, lying within the Tamworth Regional Council area and in the federal Division of Parkes. With a population of 445 spread across approximately 52 square kilometres of agricultural land, the community is characterised by farming properties, open paddocks, and the sweeping landscapes typical of the New England tablelands. The locality sits on the Werris Creek Road and was historically served by the Main North railway line, which operated a station at Warral from 1910 until its closure in 1975.

Warral's residents are largely engaged in mixed farming and grazing activities common to the broader Tamworth region, with the land supporting grain crops, sheep, and cattle. The city of Tamworth, approximately 15 to 20 kilometres to the north, serves as the primary service hub, offering schools, hospitals, shopping, and the Tamworth Regional Airport — as well as the famous Country Music Capital Festival held every January. Warral itself is a quiet, tightly-knit rural community with a strong connection to the land and the New England agricultural tradition.

Warral falls under postcode 2340 and is governed by the Tamworth Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Parkes, while state elections fall under the Upper Hunter electorate.
