About Eurongilly

Eurongilly is a small rural locality in Junee Shire, situated in the Eastern Riverina region of New South Wales approximately 21 kilometres south-east of Junee and 45 kilometres north-east of Wagga Wagga. Covering around 154 square kilometres of productive agricultural land, the locality sits within the Eurongilly Valley — a well-regarded farming district known for its fertile soils, above-average rainfall for the Riverina, and diverse mixed farming operations. The 2021 Census recorded a population of 91 residents, reflecting the locality's sparse rural character across its large farming landholdings.

The Eurongilly Valley has a long agricultural history, having been settled for grazing and mixed farming since the colonial era, and gold was mined in the area during the 1860s rush. Today the district supports wool growing, prime lamb production, cropping, and cattle farming, with properties typically spanning hundreds of hectares across gently rolling terrain. Junee, the nearest town, provides essential services including schools, shops, and healthcare, while Wagga Wagga — the largest inland city in New South Wales — is around a 45-minute drive and offers the full range of urban amenities including a commercial airport with daily flights to Sydney and Melbourne.

Eurongilly falls under postcode 2663 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Cootamundra electorate.
