Badgingarra, Western Australia

Badgingarra is a small town in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, about 205 kilometres (127 mi) north of Perth in the Shire of Dandaragan.

[2] The district was originally surveyed in the 1880s; however, due to the widespread presence of poisonous plants in the area and non-conducive soil types, the land was not developed for agriculture.

In 1959, the state government established the Badgingarra Research Station, to assist farmers in the development of their enterprises.

It has several recreational facilities at its Community Centre, including tennis courts, a bowling green, a football oval, a golf course, parks and playgrounds.

[3] The town was lashed by storms in 2012, receiving 50 millimetres (2.0 in) of rain in less than an hour, accompanied by driving winds and a large amount of hail, which destroyed crops.
