Villages of the Upper Lachlan…
We are not called “The Shire of Villages” for nothing. The Shire has three major
villages which support a number of hamlets each with their own personality. For more

km to the north
Bigga– superfine merino country and gateway to Grabine Lakeside State Park

Collector – north of Canberra and the famous Lake George and home of many bushranging
tales
