Catterick is a rural locality of the Shire of Bridgetown–Greenbushes in the South West region of Western Australia.[2][3]

The Shire of Bridgetown–Greenbushes is located on the traditional land of the Bibulman (also spelled Bibbulmun or Pibelmen)[4][5] and Wardandi (also spelled Wadandi) people,[6][7] both of the Noongar nation.[8][9]
