Clarkson is an outer northern suburb of Perth,
Western Australia, located 34 kilometres north
of Perth's central business district in the City of
Wanneroo.

While mostly a residential area, Clarkson also
functions as a town centre, serving many
surrounding areas with a vast amount of
amenities and facilities. Clarkson has a railway
station on the Joondalup railway line
and also is a major public transport hub for
surrounding suburbs.

Clarkson is bounded to the west by Mindarie
(Marmion Avenue) and to the north by Merriwa
and Ridgewood (Hester Avenue). The
Joondalup railway line divides Clarkson from
the Neerabup National Park in the east. South
of Clarkson is Tamala Park, which is
uninhabited.

It is approximately 2 kilometres away from the
Indian Ocean and the coastlines of Claytons
Beach and Quinns Beach.
