Blayney is a town of 3,000 population, located in the Central Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia, some 3½ hours by road from the centre of Sydney.
The Shire of Blayney encompasses approximately 1,600 square kilometres of well watered, gently undulating to hilly country on the Central Tablelands. Much of the land is elevated, at over 900 metres above sea level, with the climate being partially suitable for cool climate crops and trees.
The Blayney Shire consists of a natural basin bisected down the north south axis by the Belubula River, which is a headwater stream for the Lachlan water catchment. The tablelands villages possess a unique mix of frontier Australia and British ancestry with many sites within the Shire considered to be of heritage and archaeological significance.Underlying the industrial, mining and commercial activity is the quiet rural lifestyle enjoyed by the community.
