About South Quairading
South Quairading is a large rural locality in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, situated approximately 165 kilometres east of Perth. Covering more than 338 square kilometres of agricultural land, it forms the southern extent of the broader Quairading district. With a recorded population of just 54 people at the 2021 Census, the area is sparsely settled and predominantly given over to broadacre cropping and sheep farming.
Life in South Quairading revolves around the land and the close-knit farming community of the wider Quairading area. Residents access services such as schools, a small hospital, supermarket and sporting clubs through the nearby townsite of Quairading, roughly 10–15 kilometres to the north. The locality appeals to farming families with deep roots in the Wheatbelt, drawn by large landholdings, wide open spaces and the slower pace of rural life.
South Quairading falls under postcode 6383 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Central Wheatbelt (Agricultural) electorate.
