West Wyalong, Administrative center in Bland Shire Council, New South Wales, Australia.
West Wyalong sits at the intersection of Newell and Mid Western highways, connecting Melbourne to Brisbane and Sydney to Adelaide at 262 meters elevation.
The discovery of gold by Joseph Neeld in September 1893 led to the establishment of West Wyalong in 1895, becoming New South Wales most productive goldfield by 1899.
The Wiradjuri people inhabited this region as skilled hunter-fisher-gatherers, connected through shared language and kinship before European settlement.
The town functions as New South Wales largest cereal-growing center, providing agricultural services and maintaining rail connections to Sydney, 467 kilometers east.
Since 1907, West Wyalong established itself as a major global exporter of eucalyptus oil, diversifying its economic activities beyond mining and agriculture.
