Tarrawingee is a locality and a ghost town in the Far West region of New South Wales, some 60 kilometres (37 mi) north of the town of Broken Hill.
[1] The town was established in 1889 to exploit a deposit of limestone needed as flux for the smelters at Broken Hill.
The township grew to accommodate 400 people and facilities included a post office, two pubs, a police station, a court house and a school.
In 1898, smelting moved to Port Pirie and the limestone quarry closed.
Used at first to cart limestone back to Broken Hill, it was later used as a stepping off point for coaches heading to places such as Tibooburra and Milparinka.
