Port Hedland, well, its a mining town/port! Perhaps not worth its own post, but I didn’t want to include it in the next post on Karijini National Park… We did spend a good part of a day here though, seeing some interesting things. Here are some of the ships that facilitate Australians being able to maintain the high standard of living we enjoy!

Iron ore being loaded

Big boys playing little boy games, whilst waiting for a ship to leave….

Loaded with iron ore and off to Korea (according to the info centre)

Then of course there are the trains that bring the ore to the port. Not just one train line either, but multiple lines coming into different areas of the port from different places!

incoming…. BHP line this one I think. This train actually disappears off to the LEFT of this image!!

all loaded up with dollars!

Coming into town there is this snow plough, though it seems a bit hot for snow…!!! Hang on, it must be salt….

Rio Tinto salt mine

wonder how long these trucks and trailers last….?

bout to get my head chopped off when on the bridge….

lovely scenery….

We loaded up with groceries and supplies, and yeah, that’s about it for Port Hedland!
