I had reservations about Port Headland and sadly for “us” I was right!
My gut said not to bother as I had a feeling the place would confirm what man is doing to Earth.
BHP and Rio Tinto say no more!

Port Hedland is one of the three major iron ore ports in the Pilbara. It is an industrial city committed to the extraction, processing and exporting of iron ore. The city is defined by a huge port at Nelson Point with its gigantic iron ore carriers; and the seemingly endless iron ore trains (as long as three kilometres and with up to 300 wagons) which move backwards and forwards from the mines at Mount Newman. It is also the major port for Rio Tinto's salt export business.

In my life time I have never seen such devastation created by mining , the place is barron, the minerals have been sucked out and the big companies reckon they are keeping the headland safe for the turtles and are enviro friendly, what a crook of shit only a poster like that belong in the dunny because that’s where it was!

Along the road side you could see the trains 2.5km long full of iron ore and that apparently fills half a ship.
The commercial salt plantation sands out like a mountain of snow.

This town is being raped by man and the big corporates , yes the workers slave everyday and most likely “might”pay off the mortgage, have the holidays, the toys but this place is programmed to mine for another 100 years what the hell will be left behind? Your guess is as good as mine!?

So the grubberment bang on about enviro friendly ideas and the incoming implementations that they want “us” to fund and these corporates are greasing their palms, where’s the “saving the plant” here? Not one solar panel just great big power stations and huge trains guzzling fossil fuel, like to see those things plugged into a charger!

Makes you sick to the stomach watching this 24hr operation glowing in the distance during the night!

I’ve attached a PDF if one is inclined to read about the worlds biggest bulk exporter and other surrounding companies around the Port.Read more
