Binnaway
Sleepy country town on the Central Western Slopes of New South Wales.
Binnaway is a sleepy little country town, 51 km south of Coonabarabran, which was once a thriving rail town connecting local farmers and the timber industry to the coastal ports.

The name is said to derive either from the Aboriginal word 'binniaway' meaning 'peppermint tree wollybutt', or 'Benneway', an early run leased by William Lawson in 1848. The first small landholder to take local advantage of the 1861 Robertson Land Act was Charles Naseby who bought his first 50 acres in 1869. It was on his land that the southern portion of the private village of Binnaway was established. The plan was drawn up in 1876.

The trip from Coonabarabran to Binnaway is a pleasant one which follows the course of the Castlereagh River. There are many ideal places to stop and have a picnic on the banks of the river.

'The Shiralee', starring Peter Finch, was filmed here in the 1950s. The Binnaway Show is held in March and the rodeo in October.
