West Wyalong Travel Guide

West Wyalong is a transit town for those driving between Melbourne and Brisbane on the Newell Highway and for those travelling between Sydney and Adelaide on the Mid Western Highway. It is the major town of Bland Shire, one of the state's most productive agricultural shires, where wheat, wool, pigs, eucalyptus oil, sawmills, farm machinery, and a growing tourism sector are the staples of the local economy. The original occupants of the area were the Wiradjuri people. The West Wyalong Show is held in September and the biennial Festival of the Highways occurs in October of the odd-numbered years.
