Map of Two Mile Flat, NSW 2852
Two Mile Flat is a rural locality in the Central West region of New South Wales, Australia. It is part of the geographical region known as the Central Tablelands. There once was a mining village of the same name there, which also had the official name of Warburton.
The area now known as Two Mile Flat lies on the traditional lands of Wiradjuri people.
Gold and diamonds were mined from alluvial deposits at Two Mile Flat, from around 1867. A disastrous flood in 1870 wrecked most of the diamond mining equipment, bringing large scale mining to an end. It was reported that in the first five months of operation, around 2,500 diamonds were found, and later 'several thousand more'. A sample of 1,013 diamonds averaged 0.23 carats. The largest diamond recorded on the field was "a colourless perfect octahedron, weighing 5+5⁄8 carats".
A site for a village known as Warburton was reserved in 1869, but it became better known as Two Mile Flat. The small village was located close to the left bank of Two Mile Flat Creek, not far from its confluence with Cudgegong River, It was at a crossroads, on what is now Goolma Road. Although the diggings may have had a population of around 2,000, in 1868-1869, and there were several hotels, the permanent village never grew much; miners largely abandoned the area, once richer goldfields were found at Gulgong (April 1870) and Apple Tree Flat. Nothing of the village remains today.
On the right bank side of the Cudgegong, across the Yamble Bridige, in part of what is now the locality of Goolma, there was once another small settlement known as Yamble.
