Port Hedland

Chicko has moved to Port Hedland, I am yet to visit but have spent some time trying to find photos and so far this is all i have got.

I think this picture is of a big salt pile and from what i understand the whole town is covered in red dust and looks like the first photo.

The other picture is a lot nicer but i think it is a trick so you think Port Hedland is a lovely place, as the name describes there is a massive Port in port hedland where BHP and Rio Tinto do a lot of exporting from and hopefully chicko will get some cows out of there too.

Also you would probably be aware that a big cyclone has just gone through Hedland, chicko was lucky enough to be staying at the caravan park in a cabin and managed to survive the storm. He is moving into a house this weekend so i just hope it hasn't been damaged so he can still move in.
I'll get some more on Port Hedland later, i am heading out now to see Roger compete in a traiahthlon I'll keep you posted on how he goes and hopefully we will be able to snap a pic of him in his speedos to post in here, hahaha.
