Ardlethan (/ɑːrdˈliːθən/) is a small service town in the Coolamon Shire in New South Wales, Australia.

That dog was born near the town of Casterton, Victoria, which holds the title "Birthplace of the Kelpie".

The open cut pit was at one time the largest in the Southern Hemisphere, and is located approximately 5 kilometres North West of the township.

As at 24 January 2019 ATR had received Development Application consent from Coolamon Shire Council for a Rehabilitation and Tailings Reprocessing Project on the site.

[1] The town used to have a rugby league team, which was formed in 1923,[8] but the most popular sport in Ardlethan is Australian rules football, as it lies in the narrow 'canola belt', a geographical triangle stretching from the Grong Grong and Marrar at either end of the Canola Way, to Lake Cargelligo in which Australian football retains a strong following, despite being in the rugby league supporting state of New South Wales.

[10] The Barellan & Ardlethan Football Association was formed in 1914[11] and played in this competition in 1915, then the club went into recess between 1916 and 1918, due to World War One.
