About Yetman
Yetman is a small hamlet in the New England region of northern New South Wales, situated on the Macintyre River approximately 701 kilometres north of Sydney and 118 kilometres north of Inverell, within the Inverell Shire council area. With a population of 187, the locality has experienced a modest decline from its earlier peak and covers a large rural area of around 1,004 square kilometres. Yetman sits at an elevation of 257 metres near the Queensland border, with a character shaped by its long pastoral and agricultural heritage, including Bigambul Aboriginal connection to the land and early European settlement dating to 1837.
The historic Codfish Hotel is one of Yetman's most recognisable landmarks, serving as a social hub for locals and travellers alike. The locality sits at the intersection of roads connecting Tamworth to the south, Tenterfield to the east, and Boggabilla to the north-west, making it a rural crossroads. Life in Yetman is deeply tied to the land — surrounding properties run cattle and sheep, and the Macintyre River provides a scenic backdrop for the quiet, unhurried pace of country living that appeals to those seeking a genuine outback experience.
Yetman falls under postcode 2410 and is governed by the Inverell Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Maranoa, while state elections fall under the Northern Tablelands electorate.
