Cadoux is a town in the northeastern Wheatbelt region of Western Australia. It is about 180 kilometres (112 mi) northeast of Perth, within the Shire of Wongan-Ballidu.

The townsite was gazetted in 1929^[2] and the railway siding was opened in the same year. It was on the Amery–Kalannie line at 149 miles 49 chains.

The main industry in town is wheat farming with the town being a Cooperative Bulk Handling receival site.^[3]

Cadoux earthquakes

Cadoux, and neighbouring Burakin to the north, are considered unusually seismically active for Australia, with minor earthquakes reported on an annual basis. Notable events include in 2001 (Burakin swarm) and in 2022.^[4]

The most significant event, however, was on 2 June 1979 with a significant earthquake just east of the town. It had a Richter magnitude of 6.1 and was the second most damaging earthquake in the history of Western Australia.^[5] Damage to the area was estimated to be A$3.8 million (in 1979 dollars).^[6] Only one injury was recorded in the entire earthquake−a broken arm sustained by a child from falling masonry.^[7]
