At the entrance to the light industrial area of Port Hedland called Wedgefield is another of Australia's "Big Things" but you wont find it on most of the Big Things maps of Australia. It's made from the wheels and tray of a mining truck. Probably a little big for your average backyard wheelbarrow job though!
You'll drive right past it on the way from Karratha to Port Hedland on the Northwest Coastal Highway.
If you're coming from Broome, you'll need to keep driving south towards Karratha and you'll see it on the right.
