About Corinella

Corinella is a sparsely populated rural locality of around 72 people in the Central Western Plains of New South Wales, covering a vast 482 square kilometres of agricultural land. Located within the Parkes or Forbes local government district near the coordinates of -33.48°S, 147.81°E, the area is characterised by flat to gently undulating plains suited to wheat farming and sheep grazing. The landscape is typical of inland NSW — open skies, red-dirt roads, and vast paddocks stretching to the horizon. With such a low population density, Corinella is one of the more remote rural localities in the state.

Life in Corinella is centred on farming, with wheat growing and merino wool production forming the backbone of the local economy. Residents rely on nearby larger towns — likely Forbes or Parkes — for all retail, medical, and educational services. The region experiences a semi-arid climate with hot summers and cold winters, and the wide-open landscape offers a profound sense of peace and isolation. Corinella suits those with a deep connection to the land and a preference for a self-sufficient, independent rural lifestyle far removed from urban pressures.

Corinella falls under postcode 2871 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Orange electorate.
