Ben Hall's Death Site

The death site features a metal plaque and interpretive signage near Billabong Creek, surrounded by small trees on an open plain.

Police officers and Aboriginal trackers shot Ben Hall multiple times at this location on May 5, 1865, following a tip from an informant.

The site represents a significant period in Australian colonial history when bushrangers operated throughout New South Wales during the nineteenth century.

Visitors can access the memorial through a gate from Ben Hall Road, where information panels detail the events of the bushranger's final moments.

This location marks one of the few documented spots where a prominent Australian bushranger met his end in an open landscape rather than jail.
