(Redirected from
Dirranbandi)
Dirranbandi is a town of approximately 300 persons in south-western Queensland, Australia. It is an Aboriginal word meaning "swamp abounding in frogs and waterfowl".
It sits on the Castlereagh Highway and the Balonne River.
It is notable for the population increase each year as seasonal workers come to work on the extensive cotton fields. Due to the low annual rainfall, irrigation is used extensively.
The Culgoa Floodplain National Park is nearby.
