Port Hedland, Western Australia

Port Hedland, Western Australia is located in the Pilbara region, and is the region’s largest town. At the 2006 census, there were approximately 14,000 residents and this count included South Hedland. The natural deep-anchorage harbour is the highest tonnage port in the country. The major export from the Pilbara region is iron ore from the inland mines. The ore is transported to the port on railcars. In August 2010, the port saw more than 13.6 million tonnes of iron ore exported.

The indigenous people of the area called the port Kariyarra; Nyamal people called it Marapikurrinya. Both words mean ‘place of good water.’ The name did not apply to the ocean water, but rather to three constant fresh water soaks in the town.

The first explorer to do an in-depth study of the area was Cpt. Peter Hedland, in the 18th century. Aboard his boat Mystery, he navigated the harbour and named it Mangrove Harbour. His report was that it would be a good landing site that was well protected. He failed to mention the sandbar blocking the narrow entrance. Today, ships navigate the entrance with ease, thanks to the Leslie & Airey Rear Navigational Aids Tower.
