The Shire also comprises of the surrounding villages of Goolgowi, Merriwagga, Rankins Springs and Carrathool encompassing a total land area of 19,000 square kilometers.
The Lachlan River flows through Hillston and constitutes a part of the Australia’s largest river system, the Murray-Darling Basin. The Basin together with the effective irrigation system has contributed to the thriving agriculture surrounding Hillston. The farms produce traditional grain crops, cotton and a variety of vegetables, fruits and nuts such as potatoes, cherries, almonds and garlic. Not forgetting the citrus orchards and olive groves shaping the landscape – the Basin area is aptly referred to as ‘Australia’s food bowl’.
