About Timbumburi

Timbumburi is a large rural locality in the Tamworth Regional Council local government area, situated in the New England tablelands of New South Wales. Covering an extensive area of approximately 441 square kilometres, it had a population of around 389 residents — a very low density reflecting its predominance of grazing and agricultural land. Located west of Tamworth city, the locality features a rugged landscape of open plains and undulating hills, characteristic of the broader New England region. It falls within the federal Division of New England.

Timbumburi is agricultural country through and through, with beef cattle grazing and cropping operations across its vast expanse. Residents rely almost entirely on Tamworth (the nearest major centre, approximately 30–50 km east) for all services including supermarkets, healthcare, education, and entertainment. The area suits those who value a deeply rural lifestyle, wide open spaces, and connection to the land. Tamworth's status as a regional hub — famous for the annual Country Music Festival — provides cultural and service amenity for those living in the surrounding district.

Timbumburi falls under postcode 2340 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Upper Hunter electorate.
