Bowgada is a small town in Western Australia located on the Mullewa Wubin Road 366 kilometres (227 mi) north of Perth in the Mid West Region
The townsite was gazetted as Chubble in 1913 but changed to Bowgada in 1914.[1] Bowgada is an Indigenous Australian word used to describe a bush that is found in the local area from the Acacia ramulosa.
The town was originally a railway siding for cropping and stock, two industries that still thrive in the area.[2]
