Port Hedland is an ugly bastard - a convergence of huge power lines, mining railways, roads, gas pipelines, mixed in with industrial processing plants and slag heaps. All covered in a coat of thin red dust.
Driving from Port Hedland to Broome
I've met four people who say Pt Hedland is: a dump; a dive; a shit hole. It's uglier than Port Augusta which at least benefits from some history and a scenic backdrop. Pt Hedland is isolated, bloody ugly and coated with red dust.
Stop for a scenic photo of Pt Hedland's power lines, railway lines, industrial facilities or it's slag heaps? Anyone?
Eighty Mile Beach, on the other hand, is a welcome respite

Looks like Wollongong in the 80s.
Nothin' wrong with railway lines, it's a tribute to man's ability to conquer the world.
I don't know what a slag heap is... I imagine it's where everyone spits. I spat a few times during my morning run today, nothin' wrong with that!
