About Boorara Brook

Boorara Brook is a vast rural locality in the southern reaches of Western Australia, situated within the Shire of Nannup near the South West's renowned Walpole-Nornalup area. Spanning over 280 square kilometres of jarrah and karri forest country, the locality is defined by its ancient forests, pristine waterways and the remote character of WA's south-west corner. With a recorded population of around 143, Boorara Brook is one of the region's most sparsely settled areas.

The locality appeals to those seeking an off-grid lifestyle amid some of Australia's most biodiverse forest ecosystems, including sections of the Walpole Wilderness Area. Timber history and conservation are central to the region's identity, and residents are typically farming families, hobby farmers or nature lovers drawn by the solitude of the south-west. Nearby Nannup township provides access to essential services, community events, and the Southern Forests' laid-back hospitality.

Boorara Brook falls under postcode 6262 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Warren-Blackwood (South West) electorate.
