Salty Port Hedland

From Karijini National Park, we returned to the coast at Port Hedland.  This is a major shipping port for iron ore which is mined in the surrounding Pilbara region.

There is also a salt production facility with a gigantic pile of gleaming white salt.  (Everything else in the area is a dark red color from the soil!)  This facility uses a complex of evaporation pools to concentrate seawater into table salt.


Now I just need some chips (french fries)!
