Hilltops Council

The Hilltops Council area is predominantly rural, with several townships which include residential, commercial, and industrial areas. Settlement is based mainly in the small townships of Boorowa, Harden-Murrumburrah and Young, and the villages of Bendick Murrell, Bribbaree, Frogmore, Galong, Jugiong, Koorawatha, Monteagle, Murringo, Reids Flat, Rugby, Rye Park and Wombat. Rural land is used mainly for sheep and cattle grazing, grain growing and orcharding (particularly cherries), with viticulture and limestone mining also being important industries.
