About Yathroo
Yathroo is a sparsely populated rural locality in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, situated roughly 150 kilometres north of Perth near the town of Moora. Covering an expansive 623 square kilometres, the locality had a population of just 82 at the 2021 census, reflecting the remote and agricultural nature of the area. The landscape is defined by broad pastoral and cropping properties typical of inland WA.
The area is primarily used for wheat growing and sheep grazing, with most residents working in agriculture or commuting to Moora or Gingin for services. Yathroo offers a quiet, self-sufficient lifestyle suited to those who prefer wide open spaces and the pace of rural Western Australia. Facilities are minimal locally, with residents depending on Moora for everyday needs including retail, schools and medical services.
Yathroo falls under postcode 6507 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Moore (Agricultural) electorate.
