About Badgingarra
Badgingarra is a small rural locality in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, situated approximately 205 kilometres north of Perth on the Brand Highway within the Shire of Dandaragan. With a population of 173 residents spread across a large 1,129 square kilometre area, the locality has a distinctly agricultural character, with the surrounding land supporting sheep grazing and grain farming. Badgingarra was gazetted in 1955 and takes its name from a nearby pool historically used by the local Noongar people.
Badgingarra lies adjacent to Badgingarra National Park, which protects a diverse range of wildflowers and native vegetation typical of the Wheatbelt's northern fringe. The Brand Highway provides the main connection north towards Cervantes and Geraldton, and south towards Perth. Residents depend on nearby centres such as Cervantes and Moora for most services, and a private vehicle is essential for daily life. The locality appeals to those seeking a quiet rural existence within reach of the wildflower country of Western Australia.
Badgingarra falls under postcode 6521 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Moore (Agricultural) electorate.
