Hay

The Murrumbidgee River defines the setting of Hay — its tree-lined banks cut through the broad, level Hay Plains and have long supported this Riverina service town. Hay developed around a major river crossing and the pastoral economy of south-western New South Wales, where sheep grazing and wool remain central to the region’s identity. The town is associated with the Australian Shearers Hall of Fame, while the former Hay Gaol recalls its nineteenth-century public history. Wide streets, substantial civic buildings and riverbank reserves give Hay a distinctly outback character without losing its role as a practical regional centre.
