**Dandaloo** is a rural [locality](/source/Locality_(settlement)) in New South Wales,[3][4] approximately 370 km north west from [Sydney](/source/Sydney), about 15 km north east of [Albert](/source/Albert%2C_New_South_Wales) and about 40 km south west of [Trangie](/source/Trangie). It is within the [Narromine Council area](/source/Narromine_Shire).[5][6]

The locality was named by local landowner Florent Martel after a town in [France](/source/France),[7] and is the subject of the [Banjo Paterson](/source/Banjo_Paterson) poem "An Idyll of Dandaloo".[8]

During the [colonial era](/source/History_of_Australia_(1788%E2%80%931850)) a *village of Dandaloo* was proposed where the [Trangie](/source/Trangie)-Melrose Road crosses the [Bogan River](/source/Bogan_River). Although [subdivision](/source/Land_subdivision) commenced, the proposal was revoked in June 1895 and the town site remains largely [paddocks](/source/Paddocks) to this day, although a few houses, a church graveyard and disused [post office](/source/Post_office) [building](/source/Building) are scattered across the area.

During the [Second World War](/source/Second_World_War), the [Royal Australian Air Force](/source/Royal_Australian_Air_Force) built a satellite airfield seventeen kilometres west-north-west of its Elementary Flying Training School at [RAAF Station Narromine](/source/RAAF_Station_Narromine). Known as RAAF Dandaloo, the former comprised a single 5,000' east-west gravel runway (and eight hideouts) with no other permanent above-ground structures. The site (32°10'60.00"S 148° 4'30.00"E) has since reverted to cultivation.

In 2006 Dandaloo had around 365 people, with the major industry being [agriculture](/source/Agriculture), [forestry](/source/Forestry) & fishing.[9]
