Clifton Lake Clifton

Lake Clifton and Clifton (WA) are two nearby areas in Western Australia, but they differ sharply in how they are used. Lake Clifton has a population of 759 people and is home to 29 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, while Clifton (WA) is largely non-residential with no residents. Lake Clifton also has more infrastructure, with three public transport routes and one stop, compared to none in Clifton (WA).

These two places have stayed very different over time, and the gap in their population and services has not closed. Both areas are similar in that neither has any schools within 3 km. However, it takes a little longer to drive to the city from Clifton (WA), which takes 70 minutes compared to 63 minutes from Lake Clifton.
