Hay Region

Hay sits on the Murrumbidgee River surrounded by the flat, treeless expanses of the western Riverina. The town’s wide streets and Victorian architecture reflect its days as a major river port, while the nearby Shear Outback centre celebrates the region’s shearing heritage. The open plains around Hay are dotted with saltbush and home to kangaroos and emus. Locals relax at Sandy Point Reserve, a grassy riverbank perfect for swimming and picnics, and explore the old gaol museum where the hidden cells and stories of prisoners fascinate both young and old.
