About Worlds End

Worlds End is a remote rural locality in the Central Tablelands of New South Wales, located approximately 30 km north-west of Mudgee within the Mid-Western Regional local government area. Covering around 30 square kilometres of undulating grazing land, this tiny locality recorded just 3 residents in the 2021 Census. Its evocative name reflects its isolated, end-of-the-road character in the hilly farming country of central NSW.

Mudgee, known for its thriving wine region and historic charm, is the nearest major service town providing schools, medical care, and retail. The locality is part of the federal electorate of Calare and the state electorate of Upper Hunter, regions strongly associated with agriculture and mining.
