Originally a farming area and located 34 kilometres north of Bathurst, Wattle Flat became a thriving gold town in 1855, when gold was discovered in the area. The population soared during this time to some 40,000 miners. The town was centred around five hotels, two stores, two schools, a Church of England and a Catholic church.
Today Wattle Flat is a beautiful country village with distinguished old huts and cottages as well as many historic mines and diggings. Sensational flora and fauna are features of the area with comfortable accommodation all within a stone's throw.
This rustic rumbling village's main street is full of interesting old buildings, including the Old Court House and Police Station.
Facilities and services include a general store for all of your refreshments and petrol should you need to fill up. Some accommodation facilities can be found in the area.
