About Yandoo Creek

Yandoo Creek is an extremely remote and vast rural locality in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia, situated approximately 90 kilometres south-east of Carnarvon within the Shire of Carnarvon. Covering an extraordinary 3,760 square kilometres of arid outback terrain, the locality has a recorded population of just three residents, making it one of the most sparsely populated places in Australia. The landscape is characterised by semi-arid scrubland, ancient creek systems, and the dramatic red-earth scenery typical of the remote Gascoyne interior.

Yandoo Creek is a station country locality, where life revolves around large pastoral properties involved in cattle grazing and land management across vast distances. The nearest town with any services is Carnarvon, approximately 90 kilometres to the north-west, which provides access to supermarkets, health services, schools, and an airport with connections to Perth. The area is of interest to travellers who venture into the remote Gascoyne outback, offering a sense of isolation and connection to the ancient Australian landscape found in few other places on the continent.

Yandoo Creek falls under postcode 6701 and is governed by the Carnarvon Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Durack, while state elections fall under the North West Central (Mining and Pastoral) electorate.
