    The parish is located on the Bogan River, to the west of the town of Tomingley, New South Wales. The Parkes–Narromine railway line passes through Bulgandramine and the Tomingley West railway station services the district, although passenger services are currently only available as far as Parkes.[3]

    The traditional owners of the district were Wiradjuri people, who named it Bulganramine, an Aboriginal word meaning 'Aboriginal holding a boomerang'.

    During the 20th century there was an Aboriginal mission at Bulgandramine.[4] [5] The post code is 2869.
