About Coppabella

Coppabella is a small rural locality in the Towong Shire of the Wodonga-Alpine region in New South Wales, situated close to the Victorian border near the upper Murray River valley. Covering approximately 164 square kilometres of rugged alpine and sub-alpine terrain, the locality lies within the electoral seat of Farrer. With a very small population, Coppabella is a quiet pastoral and forested locality with significant national park coverage making up around a third of its land area.

The landscape around Coppabella is defined by its proximity to the Australian Alps and the Snowy Mountains ecosystem, offering excellent opportunities for bushwalking, fishing, and nature-based recreation. Residents are predominantly engaged in farming, grazing, or conservation work. The broader postcode area of 2644 connects to services in Corryong (VIC) and Tumbarumba (NSW).
