About Talbot
Talbot is a small rural locality in the Avon Valley region of Western Australia, situated approximately 97 kilometres east-southeast of Perth and just a few kilometres west of York within the Shire of York. The locality spans approximately 180 square kilometres of undulating farmland in the wheatbelt fringe near the Avon River catchment, with the 2021 Census recording a population of 114 residents. York, the nearest town, is one of Western Australia's oldest inland settlements and provides the primary services and community facilities for residents of Talbot and surrounding rural localities.
The broader York district is renowned for its well-preserved heritage architecture from the colonial era, its vibrant arts and events scene, and its appeal to Perth weekenders and tree-changers drawn to the Avon Valley's open countryside. Farming — primarily wheat, sheep, and mixed cropping — dominates the local land use, and residents of Talbot would rely on York for schools, shopping, and medical services. The area enjoys a warm dry climate and scenic rural landscape typical of the Avon Valley; the Great Eastern Highway connects the district to Perth in under two hours.
Talbot falls under postcode 6302 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Central Wheatbelt (Agricultural) electorate.
