Overview

Walkaway is a modest township in the City of Greater Geraldton, Western Australia, with 270 residents recorded in the 2016 census. Its name derives from “Wagga wah,” a reference to the bend in the nearby Greenough River, and the settlement grew around the railway station established when the line from Geraldton opened in 1887. By 1894 the town was linked to the Eastern Railway at Midland Junction, giving residents historic rail access that once supported the local agricultural boom.

Today the community enjoys a relaxed, country‑style lifestyle anchored by a former cinema now serving as the Walkaway Community Hall and the heritage‑listed Holy Trinity Anglican Church. The area is a hub for renewable‑energy generation, with the Walkaway and Mumbida wind farms and the Greenough River Solar Farm situated just a few kilometres east. These projects not only shape the landscape but also provide local employment, while the town’s housing stock reflects the variety typical of a small regional centre.
