About Nooroo
Nooroo is a very small rural locality in the Hunter region of New South Wales, located within postcode 2415 and the Upper Hunter state electorate. With a population of just 48 at the 2021 Census, spread across approximately 71.8 square kilometres, it is one of the most sparsely populated localities in its region. Sitting at approximately latitude -32.3, longitude 151.9, Nooroo is positioned in the rural hinterland near the Barrington Tops, between the towns of Dungog and Gloucester.
The Nooroo locality is characterised by dense bushland, agricultural grazing land, and the rugged foothills of the Barrington Tops National Park. Life here is deeply rural — residents are typically farmers, graziers, or those who have chosen a remote off-grid lifestyle. The nearest service town is Dungog (electorate: Lyne), which provides basic shopping, schools, and medical services. The region is popular with bushwalkers and nature lovers attracted to the World Heritage-listed wilderness of Barrington Tops, and the occasional weekender seeking an escape from city life.
Nooroo falls under postcode 2415 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Upper Hunter electorate.
