About Goodnight

Goodnight is a small rural locality in the Murray River region of south-western New South Wales, situated near the Murray River approximately 733 kilometres west of Sydney and around 50 kilometres from the Victorian border. It falls within the Murray River Council local government area and covers an area of around 93 square kilometres of flat agricultural land. With a 2021 Census population of 86 residents, Goodnight is a quiet, thinly settled locality characteristic of the Riverina–Murray region.

The surrounding landscape is defined by the broad floodplains and irrigation farmland typical of the lower Murray valley, with cereal cropping, horticulture, and livestock grazing the predominant land uses. The nearby township of Tooleybuc, to which local children travel for schooling at Tooleybuc Central School, is the main service centre for the area. Goodnight and the surrounding localities of Koraleigh, Kyalite, and Bunnaloo share community facilities and services across this sparsely populated corner of the Murray region, reflecting the strong community bonds common to isolated rural areas.

Goodnight falls under postcode 2736 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Murray electorate.
