Attractions between Sydney and Hay: Darlington Point to Hay

On the last leg of the journey from Darlington Point to Hay, you’ll pass the Four Mile Lagoon and Yarada Rest Area.

Near Carrathool, the Toganmain Woolshed gives a glimpse of how big the wool industry was in these parts. But otherwise, there’s not much to pique the interest until you arrive in Hay.

Things to do in Hay include Shear Outback, which is devoted to the tale of Australia’s nation-forming wool industry. There’s also the Dunera Museum, which pays tribute to World War II internees, and the architecturally striking Bishop’s Lodge House.

The best accommodation in Hay includes the Big4 holiday park, the Saltbush Motor Inn and the Nicholas Royal Motel.
