About Reefton
Reefton is a small rural locality situated in the Riverina region of New South Wales, falling within the Temora Shire Council local government area. Located near the postcode 2666, the area is characterized by a landscape of broadacre cropping and livestock farming, typical of the central-western slopes and plains. As a sparsely populated agricultural district, it lacks a dense central township, and residents primarily rely on the nearby town of Temora for broader demographic services and administrative support.
The history of the region is deeply rooted in the gold rushes and agricultural expansion of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Reefton was originally established as a mining settlement, as indicated by its name, which reflects the quartz reef mining activity that once occurred in the vicinity. Today, the heritage of the locality is preserved through remnants of its pastoral past and its ties to the wider history of the Temora Shire. Modern local life remains focused on agricultural productivity, with the area maintaining a quiet, rural character supported by a small community of landholders.
