About Berry Jerry

Berry Jerry is a sparsely populated rural locality in the eastern Riverina region of New South Wales, within Coolamon Shire approximately 35 kilometres west of Wagga Wagga along the Sturt Highway. With a 2021 Census population of 82 residents across just 26 dwellings spread over nearly 186 square kilometres, it is a quintessential broadacre farming district on the fertile Riverina plains. The postcode area's median tax income of $50,085 reflects the mix of farm operators and agricultural workers across this productive region.

The flat to gently undulating landscape supports mixed farming — dryland cropping of wheat, barley, and canola alongside Merino sheep grazing and prime lamb production on rich alluvial soils. The Murrumbidgee River flanks the locality, with river red gum forests now protected as part of Murrumbidgee Valley National Park's Berry Jerry Precinct, offering fishing for Murray cod and golden perch, bush camping, and birdwatching. Wagga Wagga provides full regional city services including hospitals, schools, and shopping centres, while the Sturt Highway ensures straightforward road access east to Sydney or west to Adelaide.

Berry Jerry falls under postcode 2650 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Wagga Wagga electorate.
