Wickham is a townsite located 1572 km north of Perth and 13 km north of Roebourne in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The town was built in the early 1970's to support the nearby Cape Lambert port. Wickham was originally a closed company town, but beginning a few years after the town's founding, the State Housing Commission built public housing.
