About Mabins Well
Mabins Well is a remote rural locality in the Riverina region of New South Wales, situated approximately 413 square kilometres of flat agricultural land near the town of Hay. With a recorded population of fewer than 10 people, it is one of the smallest localities in NSW, existing primarily as a named place on the landscape rather than a township with services. The locality falls within the federal electorate of Farrer and the state electorate of Murray, and is part of the broad Murrumbidgee pastoral district.
Life in Mabins Well is defined by the rhythms of dryland farming and the wide-open skies of the New South Wales Riverina plains. The surrounding landscape is predominantly flat cropping and grazing land, with the nearest services and township amenities found in Hay, roughly an hour's drive away. The locality appeals to those who work the land and value the solitude and space of outback rural living, far from the pressures of urban life.
Mabins Well falls under postcode 2716 and is governed by the Murrumbidgee Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Farrer, while state elections fall under the Murray electorate.
