About Barringella
Barringella is a small rural locality in the Shoalhaven region of New South Wales, located roughly 20 km inland from Nowra. The locality covers approximately 39 km² at a latitude placing it within the rolling hinterland country typical of the South Coast's inner valleys, and recorded a population of around 30 people in the 2021 census. Its low population and largely undeveloped character make it one of the quieter pockets of the otherwise well-settled Shoalhaven area.
Life here is characterised by rural residential living, with hobby farms and small acreage properties scattered across the gentle hills. Residents head to Nowra for shopping, schools, healthcare, and employment, as Barringella itself has no commercial infrastructure. The area appeals to those seeking a secluded semi-rural lifestyle within a reasonable drive of the Shoalhaven coast and the services of a regional city.
Barringella falls under postcode 2540 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Unclassified (OT) electorate.
