About Canonba

Canonba is a remote rural locality in the Parkes electorate of central New South Wales, situated approximately 650 kilometres northwest of Sydney. Covering a vast 705 square kilometres, it is sparsely populated with just 29 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, making it one of the smallest communities by population in the region. The area is characterised by flat to gently undulating grazing country, typical of the central-western plains of New South Wales. Sheep and cattle farming are the primary land uses across this expansive locality.

Life in Canonba revolves around the rhythms of rural farming, with tight-knit connections among the handful of families who call the area home. The locality falls within the Barwon state electorate and federal Parkes electorate, reflecting its deep rural identity. Services are minimal and residents typically travel to nearby towns for shopping, schooling, and healthcare. For those seeking wide open spaces and the quiet of outback NSW, Canonba offers an authentic pastoral experience far from urban bustle.

Canonba falls under postcode 2825 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Barwon electorate.
