The longest and heaviest trains in the world
Dxenion Says: The iron ore trains come into town daily with raw unprocessed iron ore from the mines further out. They can haul up to 336 carriages (known as cars) and usually have between 2 and 6 engines haulling the entire train that can be up to 3 kilometres long. It can take up to 20...
Dxenion Says: Go to the Tourist Information Centre in the main street and they can organise a bus tour of the plant. I took someone who grew up in the area with me and he actually thought it was quite interesting.
Dxenion Says: Follow the tide out at a walking pace. As the water receeds, huge pools are formed and the fish that wern't fast enough to make it out through the narrow necks to open water are trapped. For beginners, you have a better than even chance of catching a whiting or two for...
kid-keith Says: If you did have to stay in Port Hedland, longer than a day probably the only thing i can think that you could do apart from get drunk is go fishing down in the docks, we didn`t give it ago but saw some locals fishing down there and they were getting a few bites apparently...
Wedgefield Camp: Wonderful Wedgefield
arianne_1504 Says: Now I know that this isn't really classed as accommodation in the normal sense of the word, cause you couldn't just book it for your trip, but I thought it would be interesting to show you how the guys on site live at Wedgefield. I do believe that one day when the site has...

Cooke Point Beach: Nightlife on the beach
Dxenion Says: If you've got kids with you or are just looking for something different, go to the Cooke Point Beach after dark when the tide is out. It's a great way to escape the heat and you'll find thousands of these crabs emerging from their holes for a spot of feeding.If you're quiet,...
Dxenion Says: One of the few places in the world where this phenonomen happens and it only occurs for a few months of the year. The tide must be low, the sun must have set and the moon must not have risen yet.Find a good spot where you'll get a clear view of where the moon will rise...
Dxenion Says: 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...
