Barnes is a small town in the far central south part of the Riverina and situated about north of Moama and north of Echuca. Because of geography, it is in the sphere of influence of the adjoining state of Victoria, which explains why its railway connection goes to Victoria. Barnes Post Office opened on 1 January 1928 and closed in 1972. Notes External links Barnes Rail Siding Barnes Rail Junction Towns in the Riverina Towns in New South Wales Murray River Council
