quick=on] Baradine is located on the Coonabarabran-Pilliga road, the Castlereagh Highway, about midway between Coonabarabran and Pilliga. It is adjacent to the Baradine Creek which flows intermittently northwards from the Warrumbungles.
The area was originally inhabited by Aboriginals, and first settled by Europeans in the late 1830s and was proclaimed a village in 1865.
Baradine is located on the Gwabegar railway line, which was closed north on Binnaway, New South Wales in 2005. The railway reached Baradine in 1923 and the station was closed in 1985. By rail, Baradine is 563 kilometres from Sydney. Baradine is directly linked by road to Coonabarabran, Walgett, and Coonamble which is 68 km to the west from Baradine.
Baradine is in the Warrumbungle Shire Local Government Area, centred in Coonabarabran. It has a hotel, store and public school.
Baradine is located in the heart of the Pilliga forest, known for harvesting the Australian white cypress-pine which is a termite-resistant timber. This activity has been reduced as large parts of the forest are now fully conserved. There are also farming and grazing areas in the district.
Baradine Central School provides a broad curriculum for children from Kindergarten to Year 10. It strives to develop in all students a strong work ethic and the pursuit of excellence in a caring and secure environment.
Students are drawn from the immediate township, surrounding properties and the villages of Kenebri and Gwabegar.
