Telfer, WA 6762, is a remote mining town located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, approximately 1,400 kilometers northeast of Perth. Established in the 1980s, Telfer serves as the residential and operational hub for the Telfer Gold Mine, one of Australia's largest gold and copper mining operations. The town is largely company-owned, with facilities provided for mine employees, including accommodation, recreational amenities, and essential services. Due to its isolated desert location, Telfer has a small, transient population primarily consisting of mine workers and their families. The harsh, arid environment and limited access to major urban centers define the lifestyle in this remote outpost.
