Bland Region
Situated in the heart of the state’s sheep and wheat country, the Bland Shire takes its name from explorer William Bland rather than its character. The service town of West Wyalong has a crooked main street laid out around a former bullock track, and the surrounding farmland supports a thriving mining and agricultural industry. Visitors can follow the Silo Art Trail to see giant murals on grain silos and stop at historic villages along the way. Locals know of a glamping site overlooking Lake Cargelligo that offers big sky sunsets and shared campfire dinners, and they often gather at a small community hall for bush dances that haven’t changed in decades.
Bland Council has an approximate area of 8,600 km².
It is within the state electorate of Cootamundra.
