About Wollemi

Wollemi is a vast, sparsely populated locality in the Hunter and Central West region of New South Wales, encompassing a large portion of the World Heritage-listed Wollemi National Park. Covering over 700 square kilometres, the locality lies roughly in the postcode area of 2330 which also includes parts of the Singleton LGA, surrounded by rugged sandstone wilderness, deep gorges, and pristine waterways. The area is renowned as home to the Wollemi Pine, a prehistoric tree species discovered in 1994 that had previously been thought extinct for millions of years.

Wollemi attracts adventurous bushwalkers, canyoners, and nature enthusiasts drawn to its remote wilderness character and extraordinary biodiversity. The national park protects significant populations of wildlife including threatened species, and contains some of the most inaccessible terrain in New South Wales. There are no permanent residents within the locality itself; it exists as a protected wilderness and is primarily visited for eco-tourism, scientific research, and adventure recreation from nearby towns such as Singleton and Mudgee.

Wollemi falls under postcode 2330 and is governed by the Singleton Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Macquarie, while state elections fall under the Upper Hunter electorate.
