Cataby is a small settlement approximately 170km (110miles) north of Perth, Western Australia on the Brand Highway. The area was once called West Dandaragan,[1] with the town of Dandaragan located 17 km to the east.
The Cataby Important Bird Area, which supports an important breeding population of the short-billed black cockatoo, lies 2 km south-east of the town.[2]
Tronox have a titanium mine site at Cooljarloo, near Cataby. Concentrate is transported by road train to the processing facility at Chandala, near Muchea.
The area has also been explored for mineral sands.[3]
The town was threatened by a bushfire in 2010, which closed the Brand Highway for a few hours; the fire was contained shortly afterward.[4]
