About Cabonne

Cabonne Shire is a local government area located in the Central West region of New South Wales, encompassing an area of approximately 6,026 square kilometers. Situated between the cities of Orange and Wellington, the region is defined by its rolling agricultural landscapes, fertile river valleys, and proximity to the Canobolas volcanic complex. The shire is home to a population of approximately 13,000 residents, distributed across a network of rural towns and villages including Molong, the administrative center, as well as Cargo, Cudal, Cumnock, Eugowra, Manildra, and Yeoval.

The economy of Cabonne is primarily driven by agriculture, with significant production in wheat, canola, viticulture, and livestock. Local amenities are centered around these smaller townships, which prioritize a rural lifestyle while providing essential services, community halls, and primary education. The region’s heritage is rooted in early European colonial expansion, marked by the mid-19th-century gold rushes and the subsequent development of pastoral and grain-growing industries. Historical landmarks, including heritage-listed main streets and early homesteads, reflect this foundational era, while the area remains integrated into the broader regional infrastructure connecting the Central West to the state’s major transport corridors.
