Cossack - Places to See
Cossack
Fascinating ghost town in the Pilbara
Located 12 km from Roebourne and
1480 km north of Perth, Cossack is an historic ghost town at the
mouth of the Harding River, although an active revitalisation
program is fast turning it into one of the premier tourist
attractions in the Pilbara.
Dampier - Places to See
Dampier (including the North West Shelf and Dampier
Archipelago)
Port from the Hamersley iron mining operations at Mt Tom
Price
For a single-purpose town, designed and constructed by the
Hamersley Iron mining company , Dampier is a particularly pretty
settlement of some 2000 people. Located 20 km from Karratha and
1555 km north of Perth, Dampier nestles on the edge of King Bay and
has beaches fringed with palm trees. In spite of the area's
chronically low rainfall and high temperatures, the town has a
pleasant greenness (the result of lots of watering and nurturing)
and the result is a place as nice as any 'company town' could ever
become.
