considering how much money is being moved there it is amazing how little money is left at the actual location! Actually, replace "amazing" with DISGUSTING in my previous sentence

Why are we shipping it put, why not have Australian Mills, Australian jobs & Australian Steel?

Oh MY! So many ships! No wonder Australia is prospering!

I seen all this when was living in Port Hedland 15yrs ago

Port hedland has home to me and it's amazing see these big giant iron ore carriers through town to port at Nelson pt and other port operations of different mining company's

I lived there back in the early '70's when the BHP coy was known as Mt Newman Mining and the second company was Goldsworthy Mining - the first iron ore company. They were the ones who had the big turning channel dredged, They also had the 15/20 nm channel dredged and surveyed. It was also the first port to have a three station "Decca" navigation system, today I think its all GPS controlled.

Hey today tonight, you know who is crucial to this all. Belt splicers. Without belties nothing happens

Thank you Heaps for uploading this!!

Love living in this amazing part of Australia. After 26 years, Port Hedland is still my home!

I also don't get the hate over the city. I'd still like to have extremely hot temperatures rather than extremly cold ones. So Port Hedland is definitely better than Norilsk in Russia ;)

If we talk specifics your are correct - I seem to recall that the WA Govt State Ships started just after the First World War. But to compare the port in those days to what is here today is really chalk and cheese.

Impressionnant

What you did not appreciate was what was going on in the engine room. Above is the Hollywood stuff.

i have seen that fmg worker in caltex before.

I live here and I don’t get anything out of it

Companies making millions and millions and port Hedland such a small town with no accommodation no building of homes no expansion or business or schools. The mining industry gives nothing to the town this film is nine years ago and still nothing has changed for the towns people or the aboriginal people. Just a few people making millions of dollars.
