About Noorinbee
Noorinbee is a remote rural locality in East Gippsland, Victoria, situated along the Monaro Highway near the town of Cann River, approximately 430 kilometres east of Melbourne. With a 2021 census population of 84 residents across an expansive 212 square kilometres, Noorinbee encompasses cleared agricultural floodplain along the Cann River valley, flanked by the Drummer State Forest to the east. The locality sits within the East Gippsland Council area, one of Australia's most expansive and biodiverse local government regions, where the landscape transitions between productive river flats and extensive state forest and national park.
The Monaro Highway passes through Noorinbee, serving as the main link north to Bombala in New South Wales and connecting the locality with Cann River township to the south, where residents access basic services, a general store, and fuel. The broader East Gippsland region is renowned for its wild and spectacular national parks, including Croajingolong National Park and the wilderness of the far eastern corner of Victoria. Noorinbee has a small community hall on the Monaro Highway and is noted for excellent birdwatching opportunities in the surrounding grey box forests. Life here is governed by the rhythms of the land and the isolation of remote East Gippsland.
Noorinbee falls under postcode 3890 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Gippsland East (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
