About Lagrange

Lagrange is a vast remote locality in the Broome Region of Western Australia, spanning approximately 3,166 square kilometres along the Kimberley coast south of Broome. With a small population of around 635 people, it is one of Australia's most sparsely inhabited coastal areas. The locality encompasses the Lagrange Bay area and the La Grange Aboriginal Community, located on Karajarri Country. Its landscape features spectacular red pindan cliffs, mangrove-lined tidal flats, and one of Australia's most remote stretches of Indian Ocean coastline.

Life in Lagrange is deeply connected to the land and sea, with the local Karajarri community maintaining strong ties to Country and traditional culture. The area is renowned among four-wheel-drive enthusiasts and anglers for its pristine and largely undeveloped beaches, exceptional fishing grounds, and proximity to the Great Sandy Desert coastal fringe. Basic amenities are limited within the locality itself; residents rely on Broome, approximately 120 kilometres to the north, for services, shopping, and healthcare.

Lagrange falls under postcode 6725 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Pilbara (Mining and Pastoral) electorate.
