Information
Badgingarra is a small town in the Wheatbelt region of WA, about 205 kilometres north of Perth in the Shire of Dandaragan and was founded in 1955.
Badgingarra is a tiny settlement off the Brand Highway which, like so many of the towns in the Central West, is famous for its rich displays of wildflowers which reach their peak from August to September. The district remained largely undeveloped until the 1950s which ensured that it still has large unspoilt tracts of banksia, dryandra, hakea, grevillea, kangaroo paw and mallee scrub. The main agricultural activities in the area produce wool, fat lambs, beef cattle, wheat, oats and lupins.
Travellers, particularly in the wildflower season, find the Iain Wilson Nature Trail and the Vern Westbrook Walk ideal ways to experience the floral magic of the area.
