Crawney is a remote rural locality in the Upper Hunter region of New South Wales, positioned approximately 55 kilometres north-west of Scone and 70 kilometres south-east of Tamworth. The locality spans roughly 269 square kilometres of hilly woodland and open grazing land within the Liverpool Ranges, at elevations reaching above 700 metres. The 2021 census recorded a small resident population of 48 people, reflecting the locality's character as working agricultural land.
The primary land use in Crawney is sheep and cattle grazing, with the rugged terrain of the Liverpool Range providing a scenic backdrop for pastoral properties. Residents travel to Scone or Quirindi for essential services, schools, and medical care. The area is close to Crawney Pass Road, a scenic route connecting the Hunter Valley with the Liverpool Plains, and the nearby Warrabah National Park offers bushwalking and wildlife-spotting for outdoor enthusiasts.
