About Paringi
Paringi is a small rural locality in the Wentworth Shire of far-western New South Wales, positioned just kilometres from the Murray River and the Victorian border near Mildura. Covering approximately 110 square kilometres, the locality sits on the arid Sunraysia plain at the junction of the NSW–Victoria border region, with coordinates placing it only about 6 kilometres northeast of Mildura's urban centre. The 2021 census recorded 29 residents, reflecting its character as a sparse farming and pastoral community. The surrounding landscape consists of red sandy soils, irrigated horticulture, and the Murray–Darling river system that defines this corner of the state.
Paringi residents benefit from close proximity to Mildura, one of the main regional service cities in northwest Victoria, which provides supermarkets, hospitals, schools, and a regional airport. The locality is suited to those seeking a quiet rural lifestyle with easy access to city services across the border. The broader Sunraysia region is renowned for citrus and wine grape production, and the Murray River offers recreational activities including houseboating, fishing, and water sports. The flat, sunny landscape and warm climate make the area appealing for horticulturalists and retirees alike.
Paringi falls under postcode 2738 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Murray electorate.
