Little Billabong

About Little Billabong

Little Billabong is a small rural village community in the central Riverina region of New South Wales, located within the Greater Hume Shire local government area approximately 26 kilometres east of Holbrook and 17 kilometres west of Kyeamba. With a population of 146 residents spread across a large 464-square-kilometre pastoral area at around 303 metres elevation, Little Billabong typifies the open, sparsely settled farming country of southern inland New South Wales. The locality is characterised by sheep and cattle grazing properties, rolling open plains, and the wide, sky-filled expanses of the Riverina.

The village has a quiet history stretching back to the 19th century — Little Billabong Post Office operated from 1874 until its closure in 1953, and the community hall remains a gathering point for local residents. The township of Holbrook, known for its quirky HMAS Otama submarine monument and its position on the Hume Highway, provides the nearest services including shops, schools, and fuel. Little Billabong suits those drawn to a working-farm lifestyle in the wide open spaces of the Riverina, with Albury-Wodonga's broader amenities and services approximately 80 kilometres to the south.

Little Billabong falls under postcode 2644 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Albury electorate.
