Mining is one of the main industries in
Western Australia
and nowhere is it more apparent than when visiting Port Hedland,
considered the hub of the “engine room” of
Australia
. Hear stories of world record breaking attempts for the longest
train, twist your neck to see conveyor belts running in all directions and
almost reach out to touch huge ships as they glide effortlessly in and out
of port floating their cargo around the world.
Cape
Keraudren
just north of Port Hedland marks the southern end of the magnificent
Eighty
Mile
Beach
which stretches almost to Broome. Its also a great place to see the
'Staircase to the Moon' phenomenon, migratory birds or the fascinating
turtle nesting season. For more information visit the Town
of Port Hedland
