About Noorong
Noorong is a sparsely populated rural locality in the Murray River Region of New South Wales, situated approximately 50 kilometres north-east of Swan Hill along the Murray River floodplain. Covering a vast 227 square kilometres, the locality holds a tiny population of around 20 residents, making it one of the most isolated communities in the Riverina district. The landscape is dominated by flat, open farmland, creek systems, and native vegetation typical of the Murray catchment area.
Life in Noorong is quintessentially remote and agricultural, with farming — particularly grain cropping and grazing — forming the backbone of local activity. The nearest significant town services are found in Moulamein or Barham, each around an hour's drive away. Residents rely on self-sufficiency and strong connections with neighbouring farming communities. The locality attracts those seeking an extremely quiet, off-the-grid lifestyle surrounded by the tranquil beauty of the Murray River plains.
Noorong falls under postcode 2732 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Murray electorate.
