Mingelo is a civil parish of Narromine County in central New South Wales located at the confluence of the Ten Mile Creek and the Bogan River.[1][2]
The only two settlements of the parish are Trewilga (formerly known as Mingelo[3]) and Peak Hill, New South Wales, both were stops on the Parkes–Narromine railway line.[4][5]
Although gold was discovered in the civil parish during the 19th century the economy is today based in broad acre agriculture, though some mining remains.[6]
