About Warri

Warri is a small rural locality in the Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council area, situated on the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales approximately 60 kilometres east of Canberra. The locality lies south-west of the Kings Highway between Bungendore and Braidwood, on the north bank of the Shoalhaven River. With a population of 144 residents spread across 58 square kilometres, Warri is a sparsely settled grazing district characterised by open pastures and timbered ridges typical of the Monaro-adjacent tablelands.

The surrounding region is valued for its scenic rural landscapes, historic townships, and proximity to the Shoalhaven River corridor. Braidwood, a heritage-listed gold rush town approximately 20 kilometres to the south-east, provides the nearest range of shops, services, and community facilities. Warri's remoteness and low median household income reflect the character of a working pastoral community, attracting those who value the solitude and open spaces of the NSW Southern Tablelands.

Warri falls under postcode 2622 and is governed by the Queanbeyan-Palerang Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Hume, while state elections fall under the South Coast electorate.
