The location

Port Hedland is the second largest town in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, with an urban population of 15,298 as of the 2021 census, including the satellite town of South Hedland, 18 kilometres away.

It is also the site of the highest tonnage port in Australia.

It is famous for its massive resource industry, long trains, big ships and salt piles. It is just as rich in Indigenous culture, pioneering history and wildlife and a great spot for fishing and crabbing, whale watching and turtle nesting.
