Port Hedland, Western Australia

Port Hedland is Australia's biggest mineral port. It is located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. It acts as a hub for much of the mining activity in WA. Located between Port Hedland and South Hedland are the large salt hills of Leslie Salt. These large mounds have almost become a tourist attraction in their own right.

A beautiful natural phenomena which occurs in certain seasons is the "Stairway to the Moon " which is caused by a coincidal effect of moonlight and tides.
