Hobbys Yards is a small village in the Central West region of New South Wales, Australia, in Blayney Shire. It is situated within an hours driving time from the regional centres, townships, villages of Bathurst, Barry, Blayney, Neville and Trunkey Creek. At the 2006 census, Hobbys Yards had a population of 198 people.〔 The village is probably named after Thomas Hobby who accompanied John Oxley on his exploration expeditions, or his son. By road it is 18 minutes from Blayney, which contains the chambers of the local shire council, a public library, and the nearest supermarket, 40 minutes from Bathurst, which contains most facilities and whose postcode covers Hobbys Yards, and 10 minutes from Newbridge, the closest railway station (but currently without a passenger service) and pub. 〔All travel times according to (Whereis )〕 All of these roads are sealed but subject to frost and occasionally snow or at other times to flooding, and to the hazard of hitting a kangaroo particularly at or after dusk. The nearest service stations are also at Blayney, one of them offering 24 hour service. The village contains two locally heritage listed buildings: 〔 (Hobbys Yards Heritage Items - Blayney Shire Council ) PDF retrieved 19 April 2015 〕 * 9 Church Lane, the Uniting Church (formerly Presbyterian) and its cemetery. * 11 Church Lane, the 1881 school (now a private residence) and its garden. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hobbys Yards, New South Wales」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
