About Catterick
Catterick is a sparsely populated rural locality in the South West region of Western Australia, located within the Shire of Bridgetown–Greenbushes, approximately 252 kilometres south of Perth and 15 kilometres from the town of Bridgetown. Situated on the traditional lands of the Noongar people, the locality covers around 125 square kilometres of forested and agricultural land. With a population of 171 and a median household income of 0,585, Catterick is a quiet rural community surrounded by the tall timber country of the South West.
The locality's history is linked to the former Picton to Northcliffe railway, with Catterick originally serving as a siding named Yandil before being renamed in 1924. Today, the surrounding landscape of karri and jarrah forests makes the region highly scenic and popular with nature enthusiasts. The nearby town of Bridgetown offers all essential services including schools, supermarkets, cafes, and the Blackwood River for canoeing and fishing. The Shire of Bridgetown–Greenbushes is known for its apple and pear orchards, and the broader area attracts visitors for its scenic drives through tall timber country.
Catterick falls under postcode 6255 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Warren-Blackwood (South West) electorate.
