The townsite was originally declared as Yuruga in 1914 but the name was changed to Badjaling later the same year. The word Badjalling is the Aboriginal name for the nearby soak and springs. Badjal means the feathers discarded as a bird is plucked.[2]
The railway siding was the usual location of departure for the annual Stacey lamb train carrying several thousand lambs raised by L J Stacy of Quairading to Robbs Jetty Abattoir.[4]
Geographyedit
The Pink Lake of Quairading is actually at Badjaling, with the main road, Bruce Rock–Quairading Road, crossing it.[5]
