Karratha suburb profile

The town supports the resources and energy sector alongside long-term residents and fly-in fly-out workers, so housing ranges from family-friendly single-storey homes to purpose-built worker accommodation. Hot, dry weather encourages beach, boating and fishing outings around Nickol Bay and the nearby Dampier Archipelago, while the Burrup's ancient rock art gives the area a strong sense of place. Karratha offers regional facilities such as a hospital, schools, shopping centre and an airport that links the town to other parts of WA.
