About Biddon
Biddon is a small rural locality in central-western New South Wales, located approximately 25 kilometres north-east of Gilgandra in the Warrumbungle Shire. With a 2021 Census population of 123 and a vast area of 294 square kilometres, Biddon is one of the more sparsely populated parts of the state. The land is largely flat to undulating grazing country, typical of the Macquarie and Castlereagh River catchments.
The community of Biddon is rooted in agriculture, with sheep and cattle grazing forming the backbone of the local economy. Life here is unhurried and centred on the land, with residents relying on nearby Gilgandra and Coonabarabran for services, shopping, and schooling. The area appeals to those who value a genuine rural lifestyle, wide open spaces, and the quiet rhythms of country New South Wales.
Biddon falls under postcode 2827 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Barwon electorate.
