Westby

Westby is a rural settlement in the Riverina region of central eastern New South Wales, situated across agricultural lands. The area consists of scattered farming properties spread throughout the countryside.

A railway station served the area from 1925 until closure in 1952, following damage from a bushfire. The station building still remains on private land as a remnant of the branch line that once connected this locality to The Rock.

The region maintains strong agricultural traditions as part of the broader Riverina farming community, supporting various agricultural activities throughout the seasons.

This is a sparsely populated rural area accessed mainly by local roads crossing farmland. Visitors should expect basic facilities and use country roads to navigate the settlement.

The former railway station structure remains on private property as a reminder of the 40-kilometer branch line that connected to The Rock on the Main South line.
