Nanutarra, Western Australia

Nanutarra is a locality in Western Australia adjacent to where the Ashburton river is crossed by the North West Coastal Highway.

[1] It is 40 kilometres (25 mi) south of the Onslow turn-off in the Cane River conservation park where it is on either side of the highway.

The name is related to the locality, the pastoral lease Nanutarra Station, the bridge over the Ashburton river, the mine and the roadhouse.

[2] Due to its isolation from other localities, it is a reference point to issues along the North West Coastal Highway from some distance in either direction.

Nanutarra has a hot arid climate (Köppen BWh) with sweltering summers, very warm winters and extremely erratic rainfall.
