About Tomingley

Tomingley is a small rural locality in the Central West of New South Wales, situated approximately 60 kilometres north of Parkes and within the Narromine Shire Council area. With a population of around 342 at the 2021 Census, Tomingley is a quiet agricultural community set amid the flat, open plains typical of the region. The locality owes its origin to gold mining, and mining remains an important part of its identity today through the Tomingley Gold Operations, operated by Alkane Resources.

Life in Tomingley revolves around the land and the close bonds of a small rural community. The surrounding area supports wheat and sheep farming, and the reactivation of gold mining operations has brought renewed economic activity to the district. The nearest significant services — including schools, hospitals, and supermarkets — are found in Narromine (about 35 km north) or Parkes to the south. Residents enjoy wide open skies, a genuine country lifestyle, and the camaraderie of a community that has weathered both boom and quiet times.
