About Mount Foster
Mount Foster is a sparsely populated rural locality in the Warren region of central-western New South Wales, located within the Coonamble Shire approximately 35 km north-east of Warren. Covering over 135 square kilometres of flat to gently undulating farming country, the area supports just 18 residents across extensive grazing and agricultural properties. The locality is typical of the region — wide open plains, dry-land farming and a very small permanent population.
Farming — principally sheep, cattle and grain — is the dominant land use throughout Mount Foster. Residents rely entirely on the nearby town of Warren for services, including a hospital, schools, supermarkets and community facilities. The area offers an authentic outback lifestyle suited to those with deep ties to agriculture, though it is remote and requires a car for all daily needs.
Mount Foster falls under postcode 2824 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Barwon electorate.
