Wombat is a historic town in the South West Slopes region of New South Wales, situated on the Olympic Highway, 15 kilometres southwest of Young. Established in 1865 during the gold rush era, the area was originally occupied by the indigenous Wiradjuri people for thousands of years.

Today, Wombat is renowned for its cherry production and pick-your-own fruit experiences, where visitors can harvest cherries, peaches and sugar plums in season. The small rural community maintains its historic gold mining heritage with living history displays, offering visitors a glimpse into Australia's colonial past.
