About Pomona

Pomona is a small rural locality in far western New South Wales, situated in the arid outback near the Darling River corridor close to Wentworth. With a population of just 167 people, it is a sparsely settled locality characterised by flat, semi-arid landscapes, dry riverbeds, and expansive grazing properties. The locality falls within one of Australia's most remote and least populated regions, where harsh summer heat and minimal rainfall define the environment. Pomona's modest permanent population reflects the challenging outback conditions typical of the region.

Residents of Pomona rely heavily on private vehicles and travel to nearby Wentworth for shopping, schooling, and essential services. The surrounding land is used predominantly for sheep and cattle grazing, with irrigation farming along the river flats. The community lifestyle is quintessential outback Australia — self-sufficient, tight-knit, and deeply connected to the land. Despite its small size, the locality benefits from its proximity to Wentworth, which offers riverfront amenities and the junction of the Murray and Darling Rivers.

Pomona falls under postcode 2648 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Murray electorate.
