Bingegang is a rural locality in the Central Highlands Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2016 census Bingegang had a population of 18 people.[1]
Geography
Bingegang is about 613 km away from Brisbane.[3]
The Mackenzie River (the river) forms the northern and north-western boundary of the locality. Parker Creek forms part of the south-western boundary of the locality and then flows in a northerly direction through the locality to becomes a tributary of the Mackenzie River on the northern boundary (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.).[4] The south-eastern, southern and part of the south-western boundary of the locality roughly follows Return Creek (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.), which is a tributary of Parker Creek.[5][6]
The Fitzroy Developmental Road enters the locality from the south (Jellinbah) and exits to the north-west (the locality of Mackenzie River).[6]
Bingegang Weir (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.) impounds the Mackenzie River. It is reached via Bingegan Weir Access Road.[7]
The land use is predominantly grazing on native vegetation with some cropping in the north and south of the locality.[6]
History
Bingebgang Weir was completed in 1975 and raised in 1998.[7]
In the 2016 census Bingegang had a population of 18 people.[1]

There are no schools in Bingegang. The nearest primary schools at Dingo State Schol in Dingo to the south and Middlemount Community School in Middlemount to the north-west. The nearest secondary schools are Middlemount Community School in Middlemount to the north-west and Blackwater State High School in Blackwater to the south-west. However, all of these schools are sufficiently distant that distance education and boarding schools would be other options.[6]
