About Tingha
Tingha is a rural township (postcode 2369) situated on the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales, located approximately 25 kilometres south of Inverell within the Inverell Shire local government area. The surrounding landscape is characterised by undulating granite terrain and bushland typical of the New England region. The locality maintains a modest population, with residents primarily engaged in local primary industries and trade services.
The township provides essential amenities for its community, including a primary school, local post office, and community facilities. The area retains a distinct historical character shaped by its prominence as a significant tin-mining centre during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This heritage is preserved through local landmarks and the influence of the region’s mining past on its physical layout and identity.
