Manjimup
7,030 km²
Spreading across a vast 7,029 square kilometres of the South West, Manjimup is a rural hub where the landscape shapes the way people live. The community is mostly car-dependent, with many residents living far from shops and parks. It is a place where First Nations people are noticeably younger than the national average and achieve higher school completion rates than those in the rest of Western Australia. This mix of wide-open spaces and a young Indigenous population defines the character of the town.
