About North Walpole
North Walpole is a vast rural locality in Western Australia's South West region, sitting within the Shire of Manjimup approximately 430 kilometres south-east of Perth. With a population of just 108 residents spread across a remarkable 1,099 square kilometres, the locality is defined almost entirely by its extraordinary natural landscape. The area encompasses large portions of several national parks including Mount Frankland National Park and sections of Walpole-Nornalup National Park, making it one of the most park-rich localities in the state.
The nearby township of Walpole, just a short drive away, provides essential services including a supermarket, pharmacy, post office, and visitor centre, serving both locals and the many tourists who pass through this celebrated corner of south-west WA. The landscape is dominated by towering tingle forests, the Frankland River, and rugged bushland that forms part of the famous Bibbulmun Track long-distance walking trail. North Walpole suits those seeking genuine rural seclusion in close proximity to some of Australia's most impressive wilderness — the locality's traditional custodians are the Mineng people of the Noongar nation.
North Walpole falls under postcode 6398 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Warren-Blackwood (South West) electorate.
