The Bandulla, New South Wales was inhabited by the Wiradjuri tribe before white settlement. The first European to visit the area was surveyor John Evans who came as close as 10 kilometres in 1815. Two years later it was John Oxley's group that passed through the area while conducting one of the first inland expeditions.
