The Boddington Shire is 120 kilometres south-east of Perth. It covers 1901 square kilometres, and has a population of 2226 (2011). Boddington itself is the only major town in the shire. The western portion of the shire is forested as part of the Darling Plateau, and the eastern portion hilly wheat-fields. Cereal growing, sheep and mining are the basis of its economy.

The Quindanning historic pub is a nice stop if travelling through the area. Beyond this attractions are largely limited to hiking in the forest during winter/spring.

The shire sits on the western edge of the Yilgarn Craton. The laterite cap above this in the shire supports the Saddleback bauxite mine. A thin greenstone belt is found west of Boddington town, and this contains the Boddington gold/copper mine, the largest gold mine in Australia. High end copper specimens came out of the original mining period, but no other specimens from the shire are known in private collections.

Mineralization age: Neoarchean : 2724 Ma to 2595 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
