Vorlage:Refimprove Vorlage:Infobox Australian Place Dirranbandi is a town in south-western Queensland, Australia, located in Balonne Shire. It is said by some to be an Aboriginal word meaning "swamp abounding in frogs and waterfowl". Although this is possible there is no evidence in any of the region's languages to suggest that this is the case. The name appears to be derived from a Yuwaaliyaay dialect placename Dhurrunbandaay. It is said to be to do with dhurrun.gal ("hairy caterpillars") and baanda-y ("move in Indian file"). There is also a word dhirrinbaa (a Yuwaalaraay dialect noun), meaning "bad weather camp, on high ground." Possibly from dhirrin ("high ground") and -baa ("place of, time of").
It sits on the Castlereagh Highway and the Balonne River. At the 2006 census, Dirranbandi had a population of 437.[1]
It is notable for the population increase each year as seasonal workers come to work on the extensive cotton fields. Due to the low annual rainfall, irrigation is used extensively. Dirranbandi is close to Cubbie Station, the largest privately owned cotton property in the southern hemisphere.
The Culgoa Floodplain National Park is nearby.
