Sebastopol, New South Wales

Sebastopol is a village community in the north east part of the Riverina, in New South Wales, Australia.

The name is also applied to the surrounding rural locality, for statistical and postal purposes.

[3] It was the first to be discovered of a line of gold mining locations that ran north-north-west, from Junee Reefs, through Sebastopol, Temora, Reefton, and Barmedman, to West Wyalong.

[4] The early days of the gold field were difficult; the closest police were at Morangorell, and water, carried from springs near Combaning, had to be purchased by the cask.

[4] The first large quartz reef mine on the field was the Morning Star, begun in 1869, which was also the most productive,[4] recorded as producing 0.93 tonnes of gold.
