It lies 350.0 km north-north-west of Dubbo, NSW (from Dubbo, NSW: bearing 340°T), and is situated 50.8 km west of Lightning Ridge.

The air, especially in the late afternoon, can carry a dry, warm scent, a blend of dust and the faint perfume of native flora, and the light itself seems to hold a unique quality, softening the edges of the world as day surrenders to twilight.
The story of Goodooga is tied to the pastoral industry, a legacy etched into the very character of the place. For generations, sheep and cattle have been the lifeblood of this district, their grazing shaping the land and the lives of those who call it home. This quiet corner of the Brewarrina Shire, though modest, has seen its share of travellers and settlers, each adding a thread to the fabric of its existence. The rhythm of life in Goodooga is dictated by the seasons and the needs of the land, a steady, unhurried pulse that resonates through its few, enduring buildings and the open spaces that surround them.
