Stockingbingal Information
Stockinbingal is a small village with a population of 250 people, situated on the Burley Griffin Way, 410 kilometres South of Sydney. Stockinbingal is primarily a farming community producing wheat, canola, cereal crops, sheep, wool, fat lambs and cattle. There are also small orchards of olives, almonds
and cherries. Stockinbingal has maintained its architectural integrity and remains virtually untouched since Federation. Its former commercial buildings
remain intact as prime examples of the Australian vernacular style. Designed in 1881 in lieu of the village of Yeo Yeo which was designed in 1860 but never
built, Stockinbingal was proclaimed a village on March 20th, 1886.
Stockinbingal Cemetery has many rare plants and endangered birds. The cemetery contains a rare and valuable remnant of grassy grey box – yellow box
woodland. The grassy understorey contains a range of native grasses, herbs and wild flowers. This site is part of the Grassy Box Woodlands Conservation
Management Network. Endangered Bird – The Grey –crowned Babbler can be found here, plus migratory birds such as the Superb Parrot (December) and
Dollar bird (November to December).
Stockinbingal Railway Station opened in 1893 servicing the Temora –Cootamundra line. In 1912, the Forbes line was commenced. The timber railway
station is one of over 400 such stations built throughout country NSW of which less than twelve survive. It is operated by manual signals and is an
important line for wheat transport from the central west and freight from Western and South Australia.
The local hotel was built in 1892 to cater for the Cobb & Co coaches which used the village as a stopover on their journeys from Harden to Temora. The
following year the branch line from Cootamundra to Temora was completed and the town became an important railhead. In the years that followed the
town grew rapidly and so, in 1893, a local police station was established and the local school was opened in 1894.
