About Lue

Lue is a small rural locality in the Central Tablelands of New South Wales, located approximately 20 kilometres south-east of Mudgee in the Mid-Western Regional Council area. With a population of 216 at the 2021 Census, it sits in a gently undulating pastoral landscape in the Cudgegong River catchment. Lue is positioned along the now-closed Gwabegar railway line corridor between the larger towns of Rylstone and Mudgee, and retains a quiet, unhurried character typical of the region's farming communities.

The Lue area is characterised by sheep and cattle grazing, with properties ranging from small holdings to large sheep stations. Residents access most services in nearby Mudgee, one of NSW's premier wine regions, which offers supermarkets, hospitals, schools, and a vibrant arts and food scene. NSW TrainLink coach services from Gulgong pass through the area on a detour route, providing a rare but valuable public transport link. The locality attracts those who value space, silence, and the slow rhythms of rural life, with Mudgee's amenities just a short drive away.

Lue falls under postcode 2850 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Upper Hunter electorate.
