DON RHODES MINING AND TRANSPORT MUSEUM PORT HEDLAND WA WESTERN AUSTRALIA
CARAVAN TRIP 2007
Port Hedland was originally known by the Indigenous Kariyarra and Nyamal people as Marrapikurrinya, which either means place of good water
Though the coastline in the area had been explored in the 1700s, Captain Peter Hedland was one of the first Europeans to explore the harbour for the purpose of developing an export port. Peter Hedland arrived in the area in April 1863 onboard his boat, Mystery that he had built himself at Point Walter on the banks of the Swan River. He named the Harbour Mangrove Harbour and reported that it would make a good landing site with a well protected harbour and that there was also fresh water available. What Hedland failed to point out was that the harbour was difficult to enter because of a huge sandbar that sealed the entrance meaning it was only accessible at high tide and that it was difficult to enter in bad weather because of the narrow entrance.[4]
During 1866 the resident Magistrate of Roebourne Treverton Sholl commissioned Charles Wedge to investigating alternative towns site to Roebourne. Wedge reported that Port Hedland's suitability was pessimistic. In 1891 the exploration of the area by Tom Traine John Wedge and Syd Hedley identified two landings and described the harbour as pretty as well as safe. During September 1895 Cossack residents requested the District Surveyor to survey the headland at Port Hedland and requested the Government to build a jetty.
Goldsworthy mining discovered iron ore in the Pilbara in the late 1950s and built the towns of Goldsworthy and later Shaygap as mine sites. A rail line was then built to Port Hedland where dredging was undertaken to deepen and widen the port's channel and a wharf was built opposite the township of Port Hedland on Finicane Island. Shipment of ore began on 27 May 1966 when the Harved S Muddsailed from Port hedland to Japan with 24,900 tonnes of ore.
In 1967 iron ore was discovered at Mt Whaleback and a mining venture was undertaken that included the establishment of a new Town, Newman, 426 km of rail from the mine to the port and the development of processing equipment at both Newman and Port Hedland. In 1986, at a cost of $87 million, the existing channel was dredged to allow the port to increase the tonnage of those ships able to enter the port. WIKIPEDIA

PORT HEDLAND AN OVERVIEW WESTERN AUSTRALIA PART 2
CARAVAN TRIP 2007 Port Hedland is the highest tonnage port in Australia and largest town in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, with a population of approximately 14,000 (this includes its satellite suburb South Hedland, 18 km away). Port Hedland is a natural deep anchorage port that as well as being the main fuel and container receival point for the region was seen as perfect for shipment of the iron ore being mined in the ranges located inland from the town. The ore is moved by railway lines from four major iron ore deposits to the east and south of Port Hedland. Other major resource activities supported include the offshore Natural gas fields , salt, manganese, and livestock. Grazing of cattle and sheep was formerly a major revenue earner for the region but this has slowly declined. Port Hedland was formerly the terminus for the WAGR Marble Bar Railway which serviced the Gold mining area of Marble Bar. WIKIPEDIA

Port Hedland 1973, Port Hedland Speedway 1973
The original footage of this was done on an 8mm canon film camera no sound. the rest was all dubbed
A great day out in Hedland. The early stages of the Speedway competition left alot to be desired safety wise. Very Rough and ready, the only injuries that were suffered were a few bruised egos. Where are they all now Baldy Bob Brewer, Phil Kerr, Ian White, Bill Frances, Robby Wilson, etc etc
Should bring back a few memories with a few of the Hedland mob from that era 1973

Hoan Bridge Cracked Section Demolition - Part 2 of 2
Peter Linton-Smith of Fox 6 News Milwaukee (WITI) interviews Department of Transportation spokesman Don Rhodes about the explosive removal of a cracked section of the Hoan Bridge in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on December 28, 2000.
This is part two of two. Though the first video abruptly cuts out the two videos are actually contiguous. The footage from the first video cut out to this interview.
There were some interviews with some people witnessing the event after this, but unfortunately I didn't record them.

The Toxic Garden - Shifting Planes.mpg
The Toxic Garden:
The Toxic Garden is a speculation on the by-products of an industry that lies behind the scenes of modern living, existing on the periphery of our experience of the world.
The project infiltrates the iron ore supply chain in Western Australia, which exists in its most extreme at Port Hedland. The main by-product of the iron ore industry is the fine dust that coats the surrounding townscape.
Instead of a solution to this toxicity, The Toxic Garden speculates how we can reconcile two opposing values - the economic value of the mineral terrain and the cultural value of Australia's ancient and sacred landscapes.
The physical properties of the dust collected directly from the site are examined in scale stage sets. The conventional drawing is transformed into a machine where dust is moved by electrostatics and the dancing pulses of electricity.
The designing of atmospheres is just as critical as that of physical objects. the architect becomes a choreographer of effects and phenomena, rather than discreet built objects. Live simulations are the tools in creating these atmospheres as a way of investigating the role of the architect.
Shifting Planes:
The shifting planes garden creates drawings in the earth, which are new stories in landscape. Influenced by indigenous aboriginal dream-time stories, these new mythological landscapes are the cultural warning signs to our modern lives.
