Mirrool is a town in the northern part of the Riverina region of south-west New South Wales, Australia.
The town is in the Bland Shire local government area and adjacent to the Newell Highway, 473 kilometres (294 mi) southwest of the state capital, Sydney.
[1] The place name Mirrool is derived from the local Aboriginal word meaning "Pipe Clay".
[5] In recent times, it was narrowly saved when a group of local farmers banded together to buy the licence just before it was sold off to Sydney (Liquor licences can be sold to another concern and then reinstated in a different location).
Every second Saturday in October, the town holds a large gathering to which Australian Rules fans congregate to compete in the traditional $1000 prize for kicking a football over the 32-metre silos that are situated opposite the pub.
