Carlotta is a rural locality of the Shire of Nannup in the South West region of Western Australia. The Vasse Highway runs through the centre of the locality, with the Easter National Park stretching along the east side of the highway. The south-western part of the locality is taken up by the Milyeannup National Park while the remainder is predominantly covered by state forest. Its north-western boundary is made up by the Brockman Highway and Nannup Airport is located in the north-west as well, inside the Kearney State Forest.[2][3]
Carlotta and the Shire of Nannup are located on the traditional land of the Bibulman and Wardandi people of the Noongar nation.[4][5][6]
The historic Jangardup Stock Route runs through the locality on the route that is now the Vasse Highway. It was last used as a stock route in the mid-1960s.[7]
