Bogan Shire is a local government area in the
Orana region of New South Wales, Australia. The
Bogan Shire is located adjacent to the Mitchell and

Bogan Shire is supported by agricultural
production, grazing of sheep and cattle and
cropping, primarily wheat. The area averages

there is great variability in the rainfall. In 1888
