Port Hedland is one of the busiest commodity ports in the world and is the highest tonnage port in Australia. BHP Billiton exports 100 million tonnes of iron ore per annum. The port can handle, 4 large 320 metre long ships carrying up to 220 tonnes of iron ore, at one time. The port, along with the incredibly long goods trains, and the salt works, make for an impressive spectacle, however it is probably not the best place for a holiday and relaxing visit.
