Windabout is a suburb of Esperance and a locality of the Shire of Esperance in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia. The suburb is residential in the south-east, while the west is taken up by Esperance golf course and the north by parts of the Woody Lake Nature Reserve.[3][4]
Windabout is on the traditional land of the Njunga people of the Noongar nation. The Njunga were previously part of the Wudjari Noongar, but separated from them[when?] for cultural reasons.[5][6][7][improper synthesis?]
Lake Windabout lays to the north of the locality, in the nature reserve, while there is also a Windabout Lake in South Australia.[4]
