About Gascoyne Junction
Gascoyne Junction is a remote pastoral locality in the Mid West region of Western Australia, situated at the confluence of the Gascoyne and Lyons rivers approximately 170 kilometres inland from Carnarvon. The locality serves as a central point for the vast pastoral stations of the upper Gascoyne district, with the surrounding landscape of arid ranges, red gorges, and spinifex country making it one of WA's more distinctive outback communities. With a population of around 65 residents, it functions primarily as a service point for local station workers and travellers passing through the Kennedy Range area.
The nearby Kennedy Range National Park is a significant attraction, offering striking sandstone gorges, wildflowers in season, and remote camping for four-wheel-drive enthusiasts. The Gascoyne Junction Roadhouse provides fuel and basic supplies for the local community and visitors. Life here is defined by the outback pastoral lifestyle, with the Gascoyne River, seasonal floods, and the vast red landscape shaping the rhythm of daily existence.
Gascoyne Junction falls under postcode 6705 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the North West Central (Mining and Pastoral) electorate.
