PortHedland International Airport serves the important mining town anddeepwater harbour of PortHedland in Western Australia.
From the airport head to the town observation tower for panoramic views of the local area or visit Cape Keraudren Nature Reserve for a stunning view of the surrounding coast.
Get a better understanding of the epic 24/7 mining operation that drives the local area with a tour of BHP Billiton’s Nelson Point facility, or spend an afternoon at the Dome café, a lovely heritage building on The Esplanade, that overlooks the ships arriving at the local dock.
Port Hedland is also home to some amazing wildlife. Between October and January every year, you can see flatback turtles coming in to lay eggs - and between December and March, you can see turtle hatchlings returning to the sea.
