Booligal
Australia / Booligal, New South Wales
Location ID: #15976
Booligal is 704 km west of Sydney via the Great and Mid Western Highways and 77 km north of Hay. This hot and dusty sheep and cattle town on the Lachlan River is situated in a claypan, known as the 'Devil's Claypan', where the occasional coolibah tree offers the only shade. Indeed, so occasional is the shade that the inn halfway between Hay and Booligal is called the One Tree Hotel as it was erected near the only tree to be seen for miles in what is remarkably flat country.
