Colinroobie is a small rural community located in the central part of the Riverina region in southern New South Wales, Australia. A rural community means it's a place with farms and open spaces, rather than a big city. The area is known for its agriculture, especially farming.

Colinroobie was once known by a different name, Bents Hill. Its name was officially changed to Colinroobie in January 2005.

A Bit of History

Like many small communities, Colinroobie had its own post office a long time ago. The Colinroobie Post Office first opened its doors on 5 November 1895. It served the local community for many years, helping people send and receive letters and packages. However, it eventually closed down in 1952.
