Welcome to the Town of Port Hedland’s official Facebook page. We can only respond to posts during normal business hours. The Town is using social media to share news, events and information with our community.
The vast Pilbara region is awe-inspiring, from its incredible size of more than 500,000 square kilometres, to its isolated and rugged beauty. It is also home to the heart of Western Australia’s iron ore mining industry.
Our dynamic town of 20,000 is relaxed and open. The town’s location on the ocean provides for a variety of aquatic leisure activities including superb fishing. Whales and nesting flatback turtles can be seen in season. Millstream and Karijini National Parks are within easy driving distance, while Broome and the Kimberley are also within reach.
The original inhabitants, the Karriyarra people, call Port Hedland 'Marapikurrinya' for the hand shaped formation of the tidal creeks coming off the natural harbour.
