About Henty
This country town is located in picturesque wheat and sheep country, halfway between Albury and Wagga Wagga. Henty has quaint antique shops; parkland at Billabong Creek, where you can see local flora and fauna on nature walks; and a museum that provides information about both Henty and the surrounding area.
Each year in September, Henty Field Days attract up to 50,000 visitors to a three-day exhibition of agricultural machinery. It's a fascinating insight into the technical solutions being developed in Australia to manage the challenges of farming on one of the world's driest continents.
