About

Located on the Leichhardt Highway, Wandoan is located 69km west of Miles. On your travels west, you will pass through the community of Gulugaba.

Set on a backdrop of towering grain silos and prime farming land, the town is the perfect place to call home, balancing country charm with modern amenities. Within the Wandoan business area, you’ll find a number of community facilities, including the Wandoan Cultural Centre which houses a Library, QGAP facilities and a large function room.

In addition to a long-established history in wheat and cattle farming, thanks to the fertile Brigalow country soil, the coal and gas industries have also secured their footprint locally.

If you’re looking for somewhere to explore the outdoors, Wandoan has plenty of activities on the annual events calendar and peaceful spots for a relaxing picnic.
