If it happens in Grenfell, it is in the Record!

With the advent of a website, the news and sport of the district is available each day at grenfellrecord.com.au as well as in the pages of the weekly Grenfell Record.

Grenfell, part of the Weddin Shire is situated in central NSW at the junction of the South West Slopes and Central West Plains.

It is approximately four hours from Sydney and two hours from Canberra, Dubbo, Bathurst and Wagga Wagga. Nestled in a productive valley, Grenfell has in excess of 100 retail and service outlets, most of which are privately owned and operated from the town's central business district. A number of smaller business outlets are also located in Greenthorpe, Quandialla and Caragabal, villages all within half an hours drive of the town.

Grenfell is considered one of the safest agricultural districts in Australia having an average rainfall of 630mm per annum and is a renowned wool, meat and grain producing area highlighted at the annual Grenfell Show.

A number of major annual events are held in Grenfell, including the Henry Lawson Festival of Arts which attracts national television stars and producers, the renowned guinea pig races, the annual Grenfell Picnic Races and many other sporting attractions.
