Hillgrove is a historic mining town located in the New England region of New South Wales, Australia, approximately 30 kilometers east of Armidale. During the late 19th century, it was a prosperous antimony and gold mining center, with a peak population of around 3,000 people in the 1890s. The town was known for its innovative use of hydroelectric power for mining operations, being one of the first places in Australia to implement such technology.
Today, Hillgrove is largely a ghost town, though it retains significant historical importance as a testament to Australia's mining heritage. The remains of the mining operations, including old mine shafts, equipment, and building foundations, provide insight into the industrial and cultural history of colonial Australia. The surrounding landscape features deep gorges and rugged terrain characteristic of the New England region.
