About West Wyalong
West Wyalong is a town in New South Wales, Australia which is the main town of the Bland Shire, located in the Central West region of New South Wales. At 467 km west of Sydney, it is located on the crossroads of the Newell Highway between Melbourne and Brisbane, and the Mid-Western Highway between Sydney and Adelaide. West Wyalong is a successful agricultural centre, producing most of the State's cereal crops.
This country NSW town pays tribute to its goldmining history with parks and museums such as the Wyalong Museum and the 25-metre Poppet Head (the structure above a mine shaft) at True Blue Mine. Nearby historic bush villages of Tallimba, Ungarie, Weethalle, Barmedman and Mirrool are well worth a visit. Highlights include the gorgeous Barmedman Mineral Pool, said to have therapeutic qualities, and the beautiful Lake Cowal, which is unbeatable for birdwatching. The twin towns of Wyalong and West Wyalong retain a feel of the bygone gold era, with many historic buildings, old-style shop facades and wrought-iron verandahs.
Farther afield, in the wider Wagga Wagga and Riverina area, you've got many great food and wine options.
