Mount Magnet, Mining administrative division in Western Australia, Australia.
Mount Magnet spans across 261.2 square kilometers of arid terrain at an elevation of 426 meters in the Mid West region of Western Australia.
The area received its name in 1854 when explorer Robert Austin discovered that the high iron content in local hills affected compass readings during expeditions.
The Aboriginal name Warramboo, meaning campfire camping place, represents the traditional connection of indigenous people to this mining settlement.
Mount Magnet serves as a strategic stopover point along the Great Northern Highway, offering essential services including accommodation and fuel stations.
The location features a magnetic variation of zero degrees, making it one of few places where magnetic north aligns perfectly with true north.
