The district includes the localities of Quairading, Pantapin, Yoting, Badjaling, South Caroling, Wamenusking, Dangin, Balkuling and Doodennanning.

Our Name

Derived from the Aboriginal word ‘Kwirading’ meaning the home of a small brush kangaroo. 'Kwirading Spring', just 6.4km south of the town was used by Aboriginals as a stopping place.
