Situated on the western Cape York Peninsula, the Weipa region is Australia’s largest bauxite mining town and a hub for the surrounding Gulf communities. Mining wharves and red soil contrast with blue estuaries and mangrove‑lined rivers rich in barramundi and mud crabs. Locals enjoy casting lines off Evans Landing jetty at dusk as saltwater crocodiles cruise past, and take quiet walks around Lake Patricia, a freshwater lagoon where jabirus and lotus lilies thrive.
Weipa Town Council has an approximate area of 12 km².
It is within the state electorate of Cook.
