West Wyalong is the main town of the Bland Shire in the Riverina region of New South Wales, Australia.

(Wiradjuri northern dialect pronunciation [wiraːjd̪uːraj]) or Wirraayjuurray people (Wiradjuri southern dialect pronunciation [wiraːjɟuːraj]) are a group of indigenous Australian Aboriginal people that were united by a common language, strong ties of kinship and survived as skilled hunter–fisher–gatherers in family groups or clans scattered throughout central New South Wales.

[5] In the 21st century, major Wiradjuri groups live in Condobolin, Peak Hill, Narrandera and Griffith.

[4] As mining declined West Wyalong became the main service centre for agriculture in the surrounding district, although for many years there was rivalry between the towns.

West Wyalong has long, hot and dry summers, and contrastingly cool winters with extended overcast periods not uncommon, with an increased susceptibility to cold fronts due to its far western location.

The town hosts a number of different sports club, catering for both adults and junior players.

The West Wyalong Advocate newspaper is an independent publication,[8] printed on Fridays.
