About Sunny Corner
Sunny Corner is a rural locality situated within the Bathurst Regional Council area of New South Wales, holding the postcode 2795. Located approximately 40 kilometres northeast of Bathurst, the region is defined by its rugged, elevated topography within the Great Dividing Range. The population is small and dispersed, consisting primarily of residents engaged in agricultural pursuits, forestry, and rural lifestyle holdings.
Historically, Sunny Corner was a significant centre for silver and gold mining during the late 19th century. Following the discovery of silver deposits in 1884, the settlement experienced a rapid economic boom, becoming one of the most prominent silver-producing districts in Australia during that era. While the mining industry eventually declined, the locality retains several sites of historical interest. Today, Sunny Corner functions as a quiet residential and agricultural community, with essential services and amenities accessed in the nearby regional hub of Bathurst.
