Pannawonica is a mining town developed by Robe River Iron. Its sister town of Wickham lies on the coast near Karratha. Iron ore is mined near Pannawonica and transported to the Cape Lambert loading facility via a private railway.
Built to house the workforce and families of the nearby Robe River Iron mines, all company homes are air-conditioned and residents enjoy a relaxed casual lifestyle. The town has a well equipped Primary School as well as a Day Care Centre and Playgroup. The Silver Chain Medical Centre has a visiting doctor and supports a holistic approach to the health of the community.
The town's facilities include a post office, supermarket, milk bar, tavern and hotel, sportsmen's club, bank agencies and a service station. The public swimming pool is a popular spot during summer, as is the open air cinema which is free of charge.
For Pannawonica visitors, accommodation is not a problem, with well appointed motel style units available at the Tavern.
