About Tooloon
Tooloon is a remote rural locality in the Orana region of central western New South Wales, located within the Coonamble Shire. Covering nearly 500 square kilometres with a population of just 34 people, Tooloon is one of the most sparsely populated localities in the state, characterised by vast dry plains, open scrub, and large pastoral properties. The locality is centred around the sheep and cattle grazing country for which the Orana region is renowned.
The lifestyle in Tooloon is quintessentially outback, with residents deeply connected to the land and to neighbouring communities across the region. Coonamble serves as the main service hub, providing schools, health services, and retail for residents of the surrounding localities. The sweeping vistas, abundant wildlife including kangaroos and emus, and the uninterrupted night skies make Tooloon appealing to those who seek an authentic and unhurried outback experience.
Tooloon falls under postcode 2829 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Barwon electorate.
