About Linden
Linden is a small village in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, situated approximately 82 kilometres west of the Sydney CBD within the City of Blue Mountains local government area. Perched at an elevation of around 526 metres along the Great Western Highway, the locality recorded a population of 471 at the 2021 Census. The median household income sits near the national average, and the community has a modest, semi-rural character shaped by its mountain setting and proximity to vast stretches of Blue Mountains National Park.
The village is served by Linden railway station on the Main Western line, providing direct NSW TrainLink connections to Sydney and the broader Blue Mountains corridor. Surrounded by bushland and connected to neighbouring villages such as Faulconbridge and Woodford, Linden appeals to residents seeking a quiet, nature-immersed lifestyle away from the city. The area draws bushwalkers and nature lovers, with access to walking tracks and scenic lookouts that typify the greater Blue Mountains region.
Linden falls under postcode 2778 and is governed by the Blue Mountains Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Macquarie, while state elections fall under the Blue Mountains electorate.
