Map of Reefton, NSW 2666
Reefton is a locality in the Temora Shire local government area of the Riverina region of New South Wales Australia. It lies on the Goldfields Way, between Temora and West Wyalong, to the south of Barmedman. There was once a gold mining village of the same name, which is now a ghost town. What remains of the second village bearing the name still lies in the locality, on the Lake Cargelligo railway line, and there was once a railway station, also called Reefton. The locality is rural with crop raising and grazing being the main economic activities.
The area now known as Reefton lies on the traditional land of Wiradjuri people.
Most of the locality is relatively flat land but, to the east of the village site and just outside the locality, Pinnacle Mountain rises to an elevation of 447m. The source of Barmedman Creek lies within the locality.
The original mining village lay slightly to the east of the newer village on the railway. Its establishment followed the discovery of gold-bearing quartz reefs in the area, in 1894. The miners themselves laid out a town and gave it the name Gidginbung, but it was renamed Reefton before it was proclaimed as a village in 1896. It is likely, but not certain, that the village was named after the gold mining town of Reefton, New Zealand.
Opening of a sawmill allowed the erection of buildings in the village, and it soon had two general stores, several small stores, two bakers, three butchers, three boarding houses, a working man’s club, the Reefton Hotel, post office and police station.
