locality on the Northern Tablelands in the New England region of New
South Wales, Australia. The remains of the settlement comprises the
former Bolivia Hotel, a disused post office, a disused railway siding
and a community hall. The original inhabitants of the land were
Aborigines of the Kamilaroi clan. The first European settlement was in
1840, with the establishment of a sheep station owned by a squatter
named Edward Hurry. Hurry had previously spent some years in Bolivia in
South America, and chose this name for the land around his property.
Hurry's sheep contracted catarrah and he sold Bolivia to Sir Stuart
Donaldson who then held the property until 1843.
