About Tenandra

Tenandra is a remote rural hamlet in north-western New South Wales, located within Warren Shire Council approximately 37 kilometres north of the town of Warren, with a postcode of 2824. Covering an expansive 567 square kilometres of flat, semi-arid pastoral land, Tenandra is one of the more sparsely populated localities in the state, home to just 78 residents spread across vast sheep and cattle stations. The locality sits beside the Oxley Highway, which links the remote farming communities of the region to Narromine, Gilgandra, and beyond.

Life in Tenandra is defined by the rhythms of agriculture — principally sheep grazing, cropping, and beef cattle — across the broad, open plains of the Macquarie Valley. The nearest town, Warren, some 37 kilometres south, provides essential services including a supermarket, hospital, and primary school. There are no commercial services, schools, or public transport within Tenandra itself, and residents rely entirely on private vehicles. The landscape is characteristically flat with wide skies, and the locality has a deep connection to the pastoral traditions that have shaped outback NSW.

Tenandra falls under postcode 2824 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Barwon electorate.
