About Crudine

Crudine is a small rural locality in the Central Tablelands region of New South Wales, situated approximately 55 kilometres north-east of Bathurst within the broader Bathurst Regional Council area. Covering nearly 117 square kilometres, the locality had a population of just 68 residents at the 2021 Census, indicative of its dispersed rural character. Crudine sits in the historic goldfields country between Bathurst and Mudgee, along the Crudine Creek, which drains into the Turon River to the north.

The Crudine area carries a rich goldfields heritage, having been part of the broader Turon River gold mining district that drew prospectors during the New South Wales gold rushes of the 1850s and 1870s. Today the landscape is predominantly used for sheep and cattle grazing, with farming properties scattered across the rolling hills of the Central Tablelands. Residents travel to Bathurst for services, shopping, and schools, while the proximity to the scenic Hill End–Sofala heritage area makes Crudine well-placed for those seeking a remote country lifestyle with access to historic goldfields tourism.
