The picturesque town of West Wyalong is at the crossroads of the Newell and Mid Western highways.

A character-filled town where gold rush history meets roadside icons and a thriving arts scene, West Wyalong is located at the crossroads of the Newell and Mid-Western highways.

Long been a favourite stop for travellers, and an easy place to linger, the town grew from the 1893 gold rush, and its famously curved main street, the Crooked Mile, still follows the original bullock tracks that wound around trees and diggings.

Today, visitors can wander heritage streets, explore local galleries and follow well-loved art trails that spill out across the surrounding Bland Shire. Just down the road, the Big Football at Ungarie adds a dose of classic Aussie quirk, while nearby Lake Cowal offers vast landscapes and rich birdlife. Equal parts historic, creative and unmistakably country, West Wyalong delivers more than you might expect.
