About Invergowrie

Invergowrie is a rural locality on the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales, situated approximately 16 kilometres west of Armidale in the Uralla Shire local government area. With a population of around 794 residents spread across a large 41.7 square kilometre area, it is characterised by large rural blocks, small farms, and open pastoral landscapes typical of the New England region. The area sits at high altitude, sharing the cool temperate climate of the tablelands, with cold winters and mild summers. Its Scottish-style name reflects the heritage of early settlers who farmed the productive grazing country.

Life in Invergowrie centres around rural self-sufficiency and community, with residents typically engaged in farming, grazing, and small-scale agriculture. The proximity to Armidale — home to the University of New England, a regional hospital, and a full range of services — means that residents are never far from urban amenities despite the rural setting. The area attracts those seeking acreage living within commuting distance of a regional city, and is popular with families, retirees, and those looking to escape metropolitan life. The New England landscape offers scenic bushwalks, birding, and stargazing under famously clear skies.

Invergowrie falls under postcode 2350 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Northern Tablelands electorate.
