Neridup is a rural locality of the Shire of Esperance in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia. A large part of the Kau Rock Nature Reserve is located in the north-east of Neridup.[3][4]
Neridup is on the traditional land of the Njunga people of the Noongar nation.[5][6] The Njunga were previously part of the Wudjari Noongar, but separated from them[when?] for cultural reasons.[7][8]
The Kau Rock Nature Reserve, which also stretches into neighbouring Wittenoom Hills and Mount Ney, was gazetted on 2 August 1974, has a size of 158.14 square kilometres (61.06 mi2), and is located in the Mallee bioregion.[9]
