Arts, culture and heritage in Hay
Take a heritage walk around town and admire the buildings that give the town its gracious air. Hay's excellent museums are well worth a visit.
About Hay
Located on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River and surrounded by the vast grasslands of One Tree Plain, Hay has many fine heritage buildings and a diverse collection of museums. You can learn about the pastoralists, prisoners of war, shearers and bishops who have all made their mark here.
There are plenty of activities to enjoy around Hay - canoeing, camping and birdwatching on the Murrumbidgee or a bushwalk in a riverside nature reserve. Take a drive out to the small village of Booligal, 80 km north of Hay, made famous in a poem by Banjo Paterson; don't miss the spectacular sunsets over the vast Hay plain.
