• Weather for Hillston

Hillston serves a large wheat and wool district. West of Sydney, it is situated near the Lachlan River, on the edge of the outback with clay pans and saltbush plains to the north and west.

Hillston is unexpectedly green due to its situation on top one of the NSW's highest-producing and best quality artesian basins. Cotton production, fruit and vegetable cultivation and vineyards are also sustained.

Nearby is a unique landmark, the Willandra Lakes Region where fossil remains date from the Pleistocene era together with archaeological evidence of human occupation dating from 40,000 years ago. It is a unique human evolution landmark on the Australian continent.
