About Bilpin

Bilpin is a scenic rural locality in the Blue Mountains foothills of New South Wales, situated along the Bells Line of Road approximately 75 kilometres north-west of Sydney and within the Hawkesbury local government area. With a population of 653 residents in 2021, Bilpin is best known as NSW's apple-growing heartland, where cool-climate orchards line the ridges above the Hawkesbury valley. The locality sits at around 800 metres elevation, giving it a notably cooler and wetter climate than the surrounding lowlands.

Bilpin draws day-trippers and weekend visitors from Sydney who come to buy fresh apples, cider, and farm produce from the area's roadside stalls and boutique cideries. The community maintains a strong agricultural identity, with apple, pear, and stone-fruit orchards dominating the landscape. Locals enjoy a peaceful semi-rural lifestyle with stunning mountain scenery, access to the Blue Mountains National Park, and a small community centre. Richmond (about 25 km) and Windsor provide the nearest comprehensive shopping and services.

Bilpin falls under postcode 2758 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Hawkesbury electorate.
