• Chevron Australia has committed $69 million to the development of the Onslow Seawater Desalination Plant; a project aimed at enhancing the town's water security. This initiative is part of the broader Wheatstone Project, which collaborates with the Western Australian Government to provide sustainable water solutions for Onslow's growing community.
• Onslow offers easy access to the stunning Mackerel Islands and the World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Coast, where you can enjoy world-class snorkelling, diving, and fishing in pristine waters teeming with marine life.
• With its west-facing beaches, Onslow boasts unforgettable Indian Ocean sunsets—perfect for evening walks, beachfront dining, or capturing that postcard-perfect photo.
• Visitors can explore Old Onslow, an abandoned townsite with preserved ruins and heritage markers, offering a glimpse into the region’s frontier past and the stories of the local Thalanyji people.
• Just a short drive away is Three Mile Pool, a natural freshwater spring perfect for swimming and picnicking. The area is also a birdwatcher’s paradise, with many native species inhabiting the wetlands.
• Onslow enjoys a sunny, warm climate most of the year—making it ideal for winter escapes or off-season adventures when much of southern Australia is cooler and wetter.
• Though remote, Onslow has seen major infrastructure investment thanks to nearby gas and resource projects, meaning visitors benefit from modern amenities, comfortable accommodations, and a friendly, laid-back vibe.
