Stuart Town A Flourishing Sheep Centre Between Orange and Dubbo
The Stuart Town district relies on pastoralism with mining also contributing to progress. The drought break boosted sheep numbers and wool prices, and most land supports sheep raising. The Land Board opposed breaking up large holdings for closer settlement. Stuart Town ranks as a key commercial center with five stores, two hotels, trades, a public library, convent school, churches, a racecourse, and other facilities, while goats roam freely as a local talking point.
