Terry Hie Hie, New South Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Terry Hie Hie (postcode: 2400, ) is a very small farming town in the north of New South Wales, Australia within the Moree Plains Shire Council. Terry Hie Hie is south of the Gwydir Highway, west of the Newell Highway and 47 km south-east of Moree, the nearest large town.
Local Aboriginal groups and conservationists were petitioning as recently as 2005 for a 160 square kilometre national park to be set aside and added to the schedule of Aboriginal ownership. The park would comprise seven existing State forests and one existing nature reserve. Logging ceased in the Mission State Forest during 2004. The area is seen as "the last big bit of bush that Aboriginal people can connect with in the Moree area".
