Where Is Nymagee?
(central NSW)
The village of Nymagee with a district pop. of 150 is situated
98 km se of Cobar in the central west of New South Wales and approximately 8
hours drive from Sydney..
Nymagee is an Aboriginal word for 'surrounded by hill'. It is
uniquely nestled within the amphitheatre of large hills formed mainly of
sandstone and shale.
"The Overflow", made legendary by Banjo Patterson's
poem is only 32 km from the town.
Nymagee was a thriving copper town until 1917 when the mine
was closed. In it's heyday, there were about 4500 residents, half of whom were
Chinese scrub-cutters.
The Metropolitan Hotel is the last of the five hotels the town
had during it's popularity as a mining centre.
