About Bundemar
Bundemar is a small rural locality in the Orana region of New South Wales, straddling the Narromine and Warren Shire boundaries approximately 71 kilometres north-west of Dubbo and 473 kilometres north-west of Sydney. The locality covers 455.6 square kilometres of open flat western plains and recorded a population of 38 at the 2021 census, with a median age of 41 and a notably male-skewed gender ratio of 55% male — typical of remote farming districts. Bundemar sits in the transition between the Macquarie River farming country to the south and the more sparsely settled western plains stretching toward the Darling River. Broadacre wheat, cotton and sheep grazing are the dominant agricultural activities across the locality's vast, flat terrain.
Bundemar's community is embedded in the farming traditions of the NSW western plains, with the region's agricultural calendar dictating the pace of life in one of New South Wales's most productive but remote farming districts. Narromine (65.6 km south-east) and Warren (approximately 40 km west) are the nearest service towns, with basic shops, schools and medical clinics, while Dubbo (71 km south-east) is the regional centre with a hospital, Charles Sturt University, airport and NSW TrainLink connections. The Macquarie Marshes Nature Reserve — one of inland NSW's most significant wetlands supporting vast waterbird colonies — lies to the north and forms part of the region's exceptional natural heritage. Residents value the wide horizons, productive land and strong rural community ties of the western plains.
Bundemar falls under postcode 2823 and is governed by the Warren Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Parkes, while state elections fall under the Dubbo electorate.
