Ganmain is in the Coolamon Shire local government area and had a population at the 2016 census of 779.[1] HistoryThe town name is said to be an Aboriginal word meaning "Crown scenes on the Moon for tribal reasons" or "native decorated with scars".[2] Boggy Creek Post Office opened on 10 December 1888, was renamed Derry in 1894 and Ganmain later the same year.[3] TodayGanmain is the self-proclaimed "Sheaf Hay centre of Australia"[4] and has produced chaff for many leading racehorse trainers in Australia.
