The town has an elevantion of 170 metres above sea level, and is a major railway junction and the main commercial centre for the western Wheatbelt. The Avon Descent is held every year starting in Northam and ending in Guildford.
The Northam Agricultural Show takes place each year on a Friday and Saturday in mid September, organised by the Northam Agricultural Society.
The town contains several hotels and motels, plus bed and breakfast services are available. A caravan park and several farm stay properties are also available close to town.
