Suburb profile

Capricorn is a welcoming smaller community in Meekatharra, with a settled community character. Distance from the capital is part of the appeal, with wide open surrounds and a self-contained community rhythm. A younger crowd gives the area energy.

Local identity runs deep. This is the kind of place people stay once they have found it. Homes are relatively affordable, which helps families and first-time residents put down roots.
