It lies 45.2 km north of Goulburn, NSW (from Goulburn, NSW: bearing 8°T), and is situated 32.4 km east-north-east of Crookwell. The broad paddocks, a patchwork of green and gold depending on the season, are defined by fences that march across the landscape, some starkly new, others softened by the years. Here, the sky feels vast, an immense canvas where clouds drift like slow ships, and the air carries the scent of dry grass and distant eucalypts, a clean, sharp fragrance that fills the lungs. The light at dusk is particularly remarkable, a soft, diffused glow that bathes the hills in a warm, honeyed hue, lending a quiet dignity to the scene.
The story of Richlands is one of tenacious settlement, its beginnings tied to the pastoral industry that has long shaped this region. Sheep graze contentedly on the undulating terrain, their wool a vital part of the local economy, and cattle too, dotting the hillsides like scattered pebbles. While not a significant mining centre, the land's mineral potential has been explored over time, leaving subtle traces of past endeavours. The character of Richlands is that of a place that understands the earth, where life moves at a pace dictated by the seasons and the needs of the land, a steady, enduring rhythm that has persisted through generations.
