Welcome to the Jerilderie Shire Council
Jerilderie is located on the Newell Highway, approximately 60 kilometres north of the Victorian border and is nestled on the banks of the Billabong Creek, the longest creek in Australia.
Renowned in history for being the only place in NSW that Ned Kelly visited and the origin of the Jerilderie Letter, it is a thriving agricultural area. As well as producing rice, wheat, soya beans, canola, wool, beef, grapes, and onions, latest statistics show that 24% of the gross national tomato product is grown in the area, as well as 5% of the world supply of licorice. Jerilderie is considered the gateway to the Kidman Way, a fully sealed road to the outback travelling through Griffith, Hillston, Cobar, Bourke and onto Queensland.
