About Ulamambri
Ulamambri is a large rural locality in the Warrumbungle Shire of north-western New South Wales, situated at the junction of the Castlereagh River and Ulamambri Creek, just south of the town of Coonabarabran. The locality covers an expansive area of approximately 328 square kilometres of agricultural land and recorded a population of 189 in the 2021 Census, reflecting its sparsely settled pastoral character. The area falls under Warrumbungle Shire Council and lies within the New South Wales electorate of Barwon.
The surrounding landscape is defined by the rolling hills, creek systems, and open farmland typical of the Castlereagh River valley. Coonabarabran — the nearest service town — provides access to schools, shops, and medical facilities, and is also the gateway to Warrumbungle National Park and the internationally renowned Siding Spring Observatory. The locality is entirely rural with no public transport, and residents rely on private vehicles for all travel. Ulamambri Mountain, a prominent local landmark, gives the area part of its name and character.
Ulamambri falls under postcode 2357 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Barwon electorate.
