About Botobolar

Botobolar is a quiet rural locality in the Mid-Western Regional Council area of New South Wales, situated approximately 25 kilometres north-east of Mudgee in the Central Tablelands region. The locality spans nearly 97 square kilometres of undulating farmland and bushland, with a small population of around 131 residents spread across scattered rural properties. The area has historically been associated with gold mining and grazing, and its rolling hills and creek systems give it a peaceful, pastoral character.

Botobolar is perhaps best known beyond the region for the Botobolar Vineyard, one of Australia's pioneering organic wineries, which has operated in the area for decades and attracts visitors interested in sustainable viticulture. The locality is decidedly rural, with residents relying on Mudgee for everyday services, shopping, schools, and medical facilities. Those drawn to Botobolar tend to value the open space, privacy, and the unhurried pace of life that this remote corner of regional NSW offers.

Botobolar falls under postcode 2850 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Upper Hunter electorate.
