Karratha is a city in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, adjoining the port of Dampier. Known as ‘Munjaree’ – or the heart of the West Pilbara Coast it is the ideal base for exploring the natural delights of the area such as Millstream-Chichester National Park, Karijini National Park, Dampier Archipelago, Point Samson Peninsula and the Burrup Peninsula.
It was established in 1968 to accommodate the processing and exportation workforce of the Hamersley Iron mining company and, in the 1980s, the petroleum and liquefied natural gas operations of the North West Shelf Venture.
Many visitors enjoy the Yaburara Heritage Trail, a 3.5 km, grade 4 walk highlighting the Karratha district’s natural history and cultural heritage and in particular the heritage of the traditional owners of this land, the Ngarluma people, and their neighbours the Yaburara people.
