Ben Hall's Death Site, Historic site in Forbes Shire, Australia.

Ben Hall's Death Site lies about 19 km northwest of Forbes, between Forbes and Bogan Gate, on Billabong Creek. It is a group of small trees on an otherwise treeless plain, marked since 1957 by a metal plaque on a steel post, with a large painted sign near the paddock entrance and a dam adjacent. A small gate from Ben Halls Road gives access.

Ben Hall was shot dead here on 5 May 1865 by Sub-Inspector James Davidson, six police and Aboriginal trackers Billy Dargin and Charley, on land then part of the Blowclear pastoral run. The site is linked to the Felons Apprehension Act, under which Hall, Gilbert and Dunn were declared outlaws, though it took effect five days after Hall's death.

The site is also called Blowclear Pastoral Run and Ben Hall's Place, after the property owned by Thomas Morris in 1840. Its high social value is shown by the naming of Ben Hall Road, the signage and monument, and visitor numbers despite the distance from Forbes township.

The site is accessible through a gate from the nearby road and can be reached easily on foot. It is open year-round and takes only a short time to visit.

A map drawn by Inspector Davidson for his police report became the basis for identifying the exact spot, later reproduced in Peter Bradley's book "The Judas Covenant". The Forbes Historical Society marked the site in 1957 with a metal plaque on a steel post.
