Paraburdoo
Lying 24kms north of the Tropic of Capricorn, on the sealed road linking Nanutarra Roadhouse and Tom Price, Paraburdoo is another of the mining towns affiliated with Pilbara Iron. Construction of the town commenced in January 1970. Paraburdoo was named after the Aboriginal name Pirupardo, ‘piru’ means meat and ‘pardu’ means feathers, so named because of the proliferation of Corellas which frequent the area. The town offers a motel/hotel complex, hospital, a college, a variety of sporting facilities, and a well stocked shopping centre.
