Sport

The most popular sport in Marrar is Australian rules football, as it lies in the narrow 'canola belt', a geographical triangle stretching from the town to Grong Grong at either end of the Canola Way, to Lake Cargelligo, in which Australian football retains a strong following, despite New South Wales being a largely rugby league supporting state.
