| The Great Southern is approximately 40,500 square kilometres in area, bounded by Woodanilling in the north, Bremer Bay in the east, Denmark in the west and Albany in the south. The area has a population of around 55,000, of which 3% are indigenous Australians. The majority of people live in the main towns of Albany, Denmark, Katanning and Mount Barker. The population is increasing significantly on the southern coastal strip while declining slightly in most other areas. A high proportion of older people live in the major centres. The main industries in the region are agriculture, fishing, forestry, mining, tourism and viticulture. Albany is the regional centre and home to around 57% of the Great Southern's total population. Albany itself is located 408km southeast of Perth. Regional Director: Susan Kay Warden Avenue Albany WA 6330 Telephone 08 9892 2672 Facsimile 08 9842 1095 Obstetric UnitsContact Us
