Baradine
Small rural township on the edge of the Pilliga Scrub
Baradine is a small and very pleasant town of some 500
people in the Goorianawa Valley, at the south-western edge
of the Pilliga Scrub. It is located some 40 km
north-north-west of Coonabarabran on the road to Pilliga and
about 490 km north-west of Sydney.
Baradine began as a service centre to the timbergetting
activities based in the Pilliga Forest. It is now a good and
tight-knit farming community. A new addition to the economic
repertoire of the town is the enormous number of emus and
ostriches being farmed for their meat, leather and oil in
the area around the town. Related abbatoirs are being
constructed in the district. Tours of the farm are being
organised though no details are as yet available. Contact
the information centre at Coonabarabran, tel: (02) 6842 1441
for additional information.
Things to see:
Pilliga Forest
The Pilliga Forest is a vast woodland area which was lightly
timbered country before the arrival of Europeans. Heavy
grazing on poor soils encouraged the growth of thick
Australian timber, including the largest cypress pine forest
in the Southern Hemisphere. This development gave birth to
an active timber industry.
Being situated adjacent the forest, Baradine is a good
base for exploring the camping spots, drives and bushwalking
trails in the area. However, there are 2700 km of
crisscrossing roads in the scrub and they are
dry-weather-only trails so be sure to both enquire about
conditions before departing and to purchase the forestry map
put out by the State Forestry Department who have an office
in Baradine, tel: (02) 6843 1607. It can also be obtained
from the Coonabarabran Information Centre, tel: (02) 6842
1441. The scrub is at its most delightful in spring and it
is home to a wide range of wildlife, including large koala
colonies.
