Maragle is a rural locality in the southeast part of the Riverina, situated approximately west of Cabramurra as the crow flies, or by road. The nearest towns are Tumbarumba to the northwest, and Corryong to the southwest. At the, it had a population of 58.
The region varies greatly in altitude, ranging from at the valley floor near Tooma to at Pilot Reef Mountain.[1] State forest (chiefly Eucalyptus delegatensis and pinus radiata) as well as semi-cleared, undulating grazing land characterise the area.
The climate here is that of a cold rainforest, particularly in the cooler months of the year. Although high summer to mid autumn is relatively dry, springs are characterised by frequent and severe thunderstorms. Sleet and graupel are very common occurrences throughout the year (at times even in early summer) and snow often falls heavily in the winter and spring months. Low, heavy cloud dominates the winter skies. Seasonal range is especially great about the maximum temperatures, from in January to just in July.
Climate data are sourced from an altitude of at Hunters Hill across the border into Victoria, operating since 1993.[2]
