Overview
Paraburdoo is a purpose‑built mining town in Western Australia’s Pilbara region, situated 1,528 km north of Perth and just 24 km north of the Tropic of Capricorn. The town is served by Paraburdoo Airport, located 9 km away, providing convenient air links for residents and workers. With a hot desert climate, summers often exceed 40 °C while winter days remain warm, offering a clear‑sky backdrop for outdoor recreation.
The housing stock primarily accommodates employees of Rio Tinto’s three nearby iron‑ore mines – Channar, Eastern Range and Paraburdoo – creating a community centred on mining life. Families benefit from a local daycare, a primary school, a TAFE campus, shopping precincts, medical centres and a public library, while sports enthusiasts enjoy skate parks, swimming pools, tennis courts and fields for netball, cricket and football. The nearest high school lies 81 km away in Tom Price.
