Heyfield is a small timber town at the southern extremity of the Snowy Mountains range. In 1841 James McFarlane selected a pastoral run in the area. He named the district Hayfield after recording that it looked “like a field of waving corn”. A settlement was developed when prospectors, headed for the goldfields, began to stop there. The first town blocks were auctioned in 1860.
Heyfield is a pleasant rural township with a population of 1700. It is situated on the Thomson River at the gateway to the High Country. The town services the timber industry, a very large dairy farming community and thousands of tourists visiting Lake Glenmaggie and the vast expanses of natural bush and National Parks in the high country.
