About Gibraltar Range

Gibraltar Range is a remote locality on the New England Tablelands in northeastern New South Wales, situated approximately 80 kilometres north-east of Glen Innes and around 560 kilometres north of Sydney. Covering a vast 520 square kilometres, the locality shares its name with the adjoining Gibraltar Range National Park — a 253-square-kilometre wilderness area that forms part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area. With a population of just 118 residents, the area is one of the most sparsely settled localities in New South Wales, sitting within the Page federal electorate.

The locality is defined almost entirely by its remarkable natural environment — ancient rainforests, high plateau landscapes, granite outcrops, and diverse birdlife including the vulnerable rufous scrub-bird and green catbird. Gibraltar Range National Park is a significant draw for bushwalkers and wildlife enthusiasts, with trails winding through cool temperate rainforest and open eucalyptus woodland. Services and facilities are extremely limited in the locality itself, with Glen Innes serving as the nearest town for everyday needs.

Gibraltar Range falls under postcode 2370 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Northern Tablelands electorate.
