About Springdale

Springdale is a small rural village in the central-north Riverina region of New South Wales, situated approximately 3 kilometres east of Combaning and 23 kilometres north-west of Stockinbingal, within the Temora Shire council area. With a population of 126 recorded in the 2021 Census, the village is one of the smaller localities in the Riverina, spread across roughly 134 square kilometres of open agricultural land. The median household income reflects the predominantly farming character of the area, sitting below the state average.

Springdale has a quiet rural character shaped by generations of farming and grazing, with the surrounding landscape dominated by broad wheat and cereal cropping country typical of the central Riverina. The locality once had a post office (1897–1977) and a railway station on the Lake Cargelligo branch line (1893–1975), remnants of a more connected past. Today it appeals to those seeking a deeply rural lifestyle, with the larger service towns of Stockinbingal and Temora accessible by road for essential services and amenities.
