Suburb profile
Fitzgerald River National Park offers a slower smaller community life in Ravensthorpe Council, with open surrounds and a close-knit community feel. Retirees and empty-nesters are well represented here, with a strong working population. With limited local amenities, residents regularly travel to a neighbouring town for shops, appointments and a wider choice.
Outdoor life is easy here, with generous parks and room for kids, dogs and weekend strolls. Day-to-day life is more car-oriented here than in denser, more walkable pockets. Housing costs sit in a more approachable middle band than nearby premium pockets.
Reported crime has been falling recently. This is a mature, settled pocket where the existing streetscape still defines the local character.

ABS Estimated Resident Population allocated to this suburb from SA2-level data. Not an official ABS suburb count.
Methodology
Figures are allocated from ABS Estimated Resident Population at Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2), using 2021 Census share within overlapping SA2 regions. Where Census data is unavailable, area overlap is used instead.
The dashed chart line is a simple growth-trend estimate to June 2030 (~0), extrapolated at +0.0% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.
