Bobadah was a mining village, now a locality, in the Orana region of New South Wales, Australia. The village was also known as Carpina, its official name, although that name was rarely used. It is now a ghost town, with its community hall being its last remaining building. It was once a larger settlement associated with the nearby Overflow Mine. The name, Bobadah, is now also applied to the surrounding rural locality, for statistical and postal purposes. Its population in 2021, including the surrounding area, was 30, up from 10 in 2016.
