The City of Karratha invites people interested in local history to view our Local Government Heritage inventory.
The City of Karratha Local Government Inventory list focuses on the post-contact history of the area. As such, some of the heritage places and areas included on it have an Aboriginal historical association. Whilst these places are of significance to the Ngarluma/Yindjibarndi community, there are other Aboriginal sites and places of significance in the area that are not included in the Local Government Heritage Inventory. Further research is possible through the Department of Planning Lands and Heritage.
