Baandee is a small town located in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, about halfway between the towns of Kellerberrin and Merredin on the Great Eastern Highway, approximately {{convert|230|km|mi|0}} from Perth, the state capital.
History
The town was gazetted in April 1912. There is some debate as to the Aboriginal meaning of the name, although one settler noted that the Aboriginal name for Hines Hill, {{convert|8|km|mi|0}} to the east, is "Baandui".{{LandInfo WA|c|B|3 May 2007}}
In 1932, the Wheat Pool of Western Australia announced that the town would have two wheat elevators on two new wheat bins, each fitted with an engine, installed at the railway siding.{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article32560140 |title=Country elevators |newspaper=The West Australian|location=Perth|date=6 July 1932|access-date=6 April 2013|page=10|via=National Library of Australia}} The installation of at least one elevator was completed early the following year.{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article32489428|title=Country News|newspaper=The West Australian|location=Perth|date=31 March 1933|access-date=7 April 2013|page=9 |via=National Library of Australia}}
