THE ONE PLAIN
The pancake-flat Hay Plain, which surrounds the eponymous town on the edge of NSW s vast Riverina region is claimed to be one of the world s three flattest places. Certainly, you d be flat out finding many that are any flatter. It s a little like the Nullarbor you re having when you re not driving all the way to the Nullarbor.

If the history of the Australian wool export industry isn t your idea of shear excitement, think again. A short clip outside of town on the confluence of the Stuart and Cobb highways, Shear Outback: the Australian Shearers Hall of Fame is built inside an architecturally-imposing and admired contemporary building with a fair dinkum shearing shed. The museum details the proud and, at times volatile, history of shearing in Australia with expert demonstrations and talks staged daily in the aforementioned shed.
