Two bodies have been discovered in a shipping container in rural New South Wales, Australian police say.

Police were called to Goolma Rd in Gulgong at 11am on Saturday, after they received a request for a welfare check.

Gulgong is a nearly five-hour drive northwest of Sydney.

On arrival, officers found two bodies inside a shipping container, and subsequently set up a crime scene.

Forensic teams are on their way from Sydney to comb through the scene.

More to come.
