The Location 

Situated in the Pilbara region of North Western Australia this is one of the largest and fastest growing cities in the area and is known as “Munjaree”, or the “Heart of the Pilbara Coast”. With a warm climate all year round, it’s a great place to escape the colder weather further south. The remoteness of this developing city contributes to its stunning landscape and beauty. Covering some 500,000 square kilometres of land, the Pilbara contains three world class national parks, including Rudall River and Karijini - regarded as one of Australia’s most stunning natural assets.  

This spectacular remote location will let you settle into an active life outside of the hustle and bustle of the big cities. Swim with the whale sharks along Ningaloo Reef for an adventure you won’t forget, explore the waterfalls and stunning scenery of the national parks which feature rock formations over 2.5 billion years old. Visit the world-famous Cable beach in Broome, famous for Australian pearl harvesting where you can buy uniquely designed pearl jewellery. Or head north and go four-wheel driving through the Burrup Peninsula surrounded by pristine beaches, rugged rock formations and ancient gorges.
