The rich red earth of the Karratha landscape captured from above. Derived from a local Aboriginal word meaning ‘good country’ or ‘soft earth’, Karratha is part of the rugged Pilbara in WA. Known for its ancient landscapes, vast mineral deposits and as a global biodiversity hotspot for subterranean fauna, the region covers over 500,000 square kms from the Indian Ocean in the west to the NT border in the east.

We recognise and acknowledge the Ngarluma and Yindjibarndi people as the traditional custodians of this land.
