The Shire of Balranald is located in New South Wales and covers an area of approximately 21,400 square kilometres, almost half the size of The Netherlands. The main centre of Balranald, is bordered by the Murrumbidgee River, which has two accessible parks featuring walking tracks and is promoted along the Sturt Highway as a popular resting spot for travellers. The township of Balranald was gazetted on the 4th of April, 1851 and is considered the oldest settlement on the Lower Murrumbidgee. The town was established by the primary rural industries harvesting wheat, wool and red gum timber. Agriculture is still a strong factor for the economy of the town with farmers’ now also growing canola, rice, wheat, fruit and vegetables. An interesting fact about Balranald is that the first telephone to be used in Australia was installed at nearby Yanga Station. The telephone was required for communication between the homestead and the shearers’ quarters and installation was carried out by James Cromyn under directions forwarded from England by his uncle Alexander Graham Bell. Today the population of Balranald Shire is approximately 2,500 people and the township has become renowned for the habitation of a frog! But, not just any frog; Balranald is home to the highly endangered Southern Bell frog species, which is listed on the NSW Endangered Species List - Local businesses and Balranald Council hope to promote awareness of the endangered Southern Bell frog with sculptures of the amphibian throughout the town and a large number of frog souvenirs are also for sale at the Visitor Information Centre.
