About Woodenbong
Woodenbong is a small rural village in the Kyogle Council area of northern New South Wales, situated approximately 798 kilometres north of Sydney and 145 kilometres south-west of Brisbane, just 10 kilometres south of the Queensland border. With a population of 390 residents across 86 square kilometres of rolling hill country and forest, the village sits at an elevation of 402 metres and serves as a community hub for the surrounding farming district. The area falls within the traditional country of the Githabul people, whose language gives the town its name — meaning 'wood ducks on a lagoon'.
The local economy is driven by dairy farming and cattle grazing, with the surrounding landscape offering dramatic hinterland scenery and proximity to several World Heritage-listed national parks. Woodenbong Central School provides education from Kindergarten through to Year 12, serving students from the village and surrounding communities including Urbenville and Muli Muli. The Summerland Way and Mount Lindesay Road provide the main road connections to Kyogle and the Queensland border, giving the village a quiet, close-knit character typical of northern NSW farming communities.
Woodenbong falls under postcode 2476 and is governed by the Tenterfield Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Page, while state elections fall under the Lismore electorate.
