About Wimbledon

Wimbledon is a small rural locality in the Central Tablelands of New South Wales, situated approximately 25 kilometres north-west of Bathurst within the Bathurst Regional Council area. Covering around 24 square kilometres of open farming country, the locality had a population of 88 residents at the 2021 Census. The area is characterised by its rolling pastoral landscape at moderate elevation on the western slopes, with Wimbledon Road serving as the main arterial through the district.

The land use in Wimbledon is predominantly sheep and cattle grazing, with some mixed cropping and hobby farming across the larger holdings. The locality has no commercial services of its own; residents travel to Bathurst for all retail, medical, and educational needs, benefiting from that city's strong range of services including schools, hospitals, and the Charles Sturt University campus. The quiet rural character, affordable land prices, and relative proximity to Bathurst make Wimbledon appealing to farmers and those seeking a rural lifestyle within reach of a regional city.
