Hay Sunset Viewing Area

Reviewed By CDUTTS

Spectacular way to spend the end of a day. Make sure to stay about 30 minutes after sunset - the earth is black, the sky turns a magnificent dark blue and there is a beautiful strip of orange glow on the horizon. Wine or beer help too!

Shear Outback

Reviewed By 60DonnaB - Narellan, Australia

Great stop before entering into Hay town. Museum with information about sheep shearing families and culture in Australia. Museum has some videos to watch and also iPads with headphones to listen to some first hand stories. Even though it bucketed down with rain we thoroughly enjoyed the sheep shearing talk inside the shed with the local shearer giving us lots of information and stories. The cafe offered simple lunch dishes with a view across the plain.

Bishop's Lodge Historic House and Heritage Rose Garden

Bishop's Lodge is a unique iron building designed to combat the harsh climate of the western Riverina and provide a practical and elegant home for the family of the first Anglican Bishop of Riverina, Sydney Linton, in 1888. Bishop Linton worked with architect John Sulman to create a cool and spacious home which is set within a tranquil heritage garden. Bishop's Lodge shares its serene atmosphere with travellers and locals alike who chose to enjoy its charms any afternoon from Monday to Saturday between 2 and 4.30 pm. Entrance is $5 per adult.

We visited this Lodge on a Thursday afternoon. This is an amazing building with a lot of history. What we anticipated to be a short visit ended up being 1.5 hours. The structure is iron-clad and with the heat on the Hay plains in Summer it is amazing that bit could be so cool inside. Lots of items to read and see.

The Long Paddock - Cobb Highway Touring Route

The Long Paddock touring route in south western NSW is the quite road to the north. With history at your fingertips and five rivers to cross, this is a journey you will not forget. From fishing to artwork, bird watching to unique bush events , we have it all Take a different path - take The Long Paddock.

Hay War Memorial High School Museum

Reviewed By Lynne1944 - Kashmir, India

A really personalised and well researched display. What a mighty contribution from a small town to Australia’s WW1 contribution. So much to admire in these young men and their families, so sad and confronting to see what war does.
