 Narromine Shire is located approx. 450 kilometres west of Sydney, on the banks of the Macquarie River. The Shire is home to the townships of Narromine, Trangie, and the village of Tomingley.
The Narromine Shire is a predominantly rural area, renowned for wheat, cotton, fat lambs, citrus, corn, maize, sorghum, barley, oats, canola, soybean, Lucerne, sorghum, roses, irises, and lavender.
Narromine is considered the best gliding area in Australia and one of the three best in the world.
