In Шаблон:CensusAU, Carrathool had a population of 296 people.[1] It is about Шаблон:Convert north of the Sturt Highway between Darlington Point and Hay (on the opposite side of the Murrumbidgee River to the highway).

The place name Carrathool is derived from the local Aboriginal word meaning "Native Companion".[2]

History

Carrathool Reserve

In October 1852 a reserve of Шаблон:Convert was proclaimed (No. 13 in the Lachlan Pastoral District); it was situated at the location known as Currathool on the north bank of the Murrumbidgee River "on a cattle run occupied by Mr. Rudd".[3]

The location of the original village of Carrathool – or 'Currathool' as it was often written – was at a river-crossing on the Murrumbidgee River at a place called Boree Point.

Carrathool Post Office opened on 20 June 1882.[4] Carrathool notably is sign posted on its outskirts "population 99" and for many years hoped to reach 100, however with droughts and children often moving to larger centres this figure may never have been reached. The above census figures for 2006 would not relate to the township of Carrathool and would not have a higher population than its neighbouring township of Goolgowi.
