Overview

Wattle Flat is a modest locality in the Bathurst Region of New York, New South Wales, perched where Big Oaky Creek meets its tributary Solitary Creek. According to the 2016 census it is home to 257 residents, many of whom enjoy the quiet rural setting that grew from a bustling gold‑mining centre in the 1850s. The village centre is accessed via Limekilns Road and retains a blend of historic cottages and newer homes typical of a small country community.

Daily life centres around a handful of local amenities: a general store that also functions as a post‑office agency, a public school operating since 1858, and three churches (Anglican, Catholic and Uniting) with adjoining cemeteries. Recreation is well catered for with a nine‑hole golf course within the historic racecourse, a tennis court, a community hall, and the Wattle Flat Heritage Lands, which provide protected bush‑walking trails.
