Stockinbingal, New South Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stockinbingal is a small town in Cootamundra Shire in the South West Slopes region of New South Wales, Australia. It had a population of 242 in 2001, including 3 indigenous people (1.2%) and 23 foreign born people (9.5%). It is on the Burley Griffin Way.
It is the location of a railway junction connecting the Cootamundra to Lake Cargelligo railway line (completed to Stockinbingal in 1893) to Parkes, which provides an alternative route from Sydney to Parkes to the route over the Blue Mountains, avoiding that routes steep grades and is now as a result the major route for freight between Sydney and Perth. The route from Cootamundra to Stockinbingal and Parkes is also part of a rail bypass of Sydney for traffic between Melbourne and Brisbane via Dubbo, Werris Creek and Maitland.
