Bendick Murrell is a town in the South West Slopes region of New South Wales, Australia. The town is adjacent to the Olympic Highway within the Young Shire local government area, 354 kilometres (220 mi) west of the state capital, Sydney. The town is on the Blayney-Demondrille railway line.
The name of the town is Aboriginal in origin, meaning "plain" and was originally given a local pastoral station.[1] A provisional school was established in 1883 and the existing school has occupied the same site since 1894.[2] A receiving post office was opened in 1887.[2]
