Hay is about 125km north of Deniliquin, the biggest town in the Edward River region, and makes an ideal day trip from ‘Deni’ (as the locals call it). To get there, you’ll drive across the Hay Plains along The Long Paddock touring route.
There’s just 17 metres difference between the lowest and highest points on the plains; that makes it the flattest place in the Southern Hemisphere and the third flattest place on earth... perfect for a cycling tour.
Hit the (very flat) road in Hay to discover the town’s fascinating history, taking in moving war stories, sky-high murals and tales from the shearing shed.
