Baan Baa

Located approximately 30 kilometres north west of Boggabri on the Kamilaroi Highway, Baan Baa had early beginnings as a squatting run.

Little remains of this previously bustling railway village which once boasted its own bakery, two general stores, a stock and station agent, butchery, an ice cream shop, a hotel, two churches and a service station.

Only the Baan Baa Railway Hotel now stands in what is now primarily a grain terminal, feeding in from the rich grain country surroundings. Consequently, the sleepy town of Baan Baa starts to buzz during grain harvest.

When in Baan Baa, don't miss the new War Memorial, next to the Hall opposite the popular Baan Baa Railway Hotel where you can call in for a cold drink or delicious meal, a great place to break up any road trip - and experiencing the small villages and towns that are still integral to the Australian food industry.
