About Eradu

Eradu is a tiny rural locality in the Mid West region of Western Australia, situated approximately 25 kilometres south-east of Geraldton in the Shire of Chapman Valley.

Eradu and its surrounds offer a quiet, self-sufficient lifestyle typical of remote WA rural communities. The nearby town of Geraldton provides all major services including hospitals, schools, shopping centres, and a regional airport with connections to Perth.
