Not much of a town really, (locals and mining families with half of the shops closed up and only Woolworths operating!! The information bay was informative with plenty of displays of the Rio Tinto working machines and a different sculpture that depicted a ship when viewed at the right angle.
We found the road out to the Wickham Back Beach which took us past the stockpiles of iron ore before loading onto the ships at Cape Lambert to ship overseas.
