Electoral district of Willyama

Electoral district of Willyama

Willyama was a former electoral district for the Legislative Assembly in the Australian State of New South Wales that replaced Broken Hill in 1913, named after the original aboriginal name for the Broken Hill area. It included southern Broken Hill and sparsely occupied areas further south. Northern Broken Hill was in Sturt. In 1920, it was combined with Sturt and Cobar to create a three-member "Sturt". Willyama's only member was Jabez Wright representing the Australian Labor Party.
