About Warradarge

Warradarge is an expansive rural locality in the Mid West region of Western Australia, situated approximately 275 kilometres north of Perth within the Coorow Shire. Covering an extraordinary 999 square kilometres of cereal cropping and sheep grazing land, the locality encompasses vast flat agricultural plains typical of the WA Mid West Wheatbelt. With a 2021 Census population of 66 residents, Warradarge is one of the largest yet most sparsely populated localities in the region.

The landscape around Warradarge is characterised by the flat to gently undulating sandy plains and mallee scrubland of the Mid West, with large-scale wheat, barley, and canola farming operations spread across extensive holdings. The town of Coorow, the administrative centre of the shire, provides basic services to the surrounding farming community, while Jurien Bay on the coast and Geraldton to the north offer more comprehensive facilities. Warradarge suits those who embrace the isolation and self-reliance of remote WA farming life.
