Karratha is a laid back township offering a great outback atmosphere.  With a population of just over 11,000, the mining of Iron Ore, Sea Salt and the Natural Gas Project all play a major role in the local economy.  As the major service centre you will find that there are many conveniences that you would enjoy at most small cities, with Centro Karratha housing major retail chains and speciality shops.

Accommodation ranges from hotels and motels to bed n breakfasts and camping sites.  Restaurants and cafes are also available and the town also has 2 nightclubs and a cinema.  You can also quench your thirst at the local pub which is great way to meet the local characters of Karratha.  In August over 2 days, Karratha plays host to one of the largest festivals in the north-west region. So if you are in the surrounding area make sure to stop in to enjoy the festivities.
