Hill End is a former gold mining town in New South Wales, Australia,
in Bathurst Regional Council.
It owes its existence to the New South Wales gold rush of the 1850s,
and at its peak in the early 1870s
it had a population estimated at 8,000 served by two newspapers,
five banks, eight churches, and twenty-eight pubs.
Its decline when the gold gave out was dramatic:
by 1945 the population was 700.
At the 2006 census, Hill End had a population of 166 people.
