Gilmore, Electoral division in New South Wales, Australia
Gilmore is an electoral division stretching along the south coast of New South Wales, connecting several coastal towns and inland settlements. The territory combines different landscapes from urban areas to more rural regions.
The division came into being in 1984 through an expansion of the Australian House of Representatives and took its name from poet Mary Gilmore. The naming honored her literary legacy and connection to Australian culture.
The area takes in several coastal towns and inland villages where people live in a mix of seaside proximity and rural quietness. Visitors see both small port cities and green regions that shape the everyday life of residents.
The area is best explored by car since places scatter along the coast and public transport may be limited. Good roads connect the various communities, though planning and time are needed to visit multiple locations.
In the 2022 federal election, the gap between candidates turned out to be remarkably close while voter participation hit very high levels. Such fiercely contested divisions are rare and show the political diversity of this region.
