Hay is located on the banks of the picturesque Murrumbidgee River and surrounded by the vast open Hay Plains, at the junction of the Sturt, Cobb and Mid-Western Highways. Hay's history is rich with characters and tales of boom and bust - of isolation and innovation. It is in the centre of some of the flattest country on earth. With a population of 3500, Hay is home to five museums, including Shear Outback: The Australian Shearers' Hall of Fame.
Hay is a popular destination for visitors who wish to experience the warmth of true country hospitality, and a rich cultural heritage.
