This season, Port Hedland’s wildflowers are absolutely putting on a show, and there’s no better time to get out and explore.

❤️ Sturt’s Desert Pea (Swainsona formosa) is putting on a spectacular display along the footpath next to Forrest Circular Road, South Hedland

💗 Mulla Mulla (Ptilotus exaltatus) can be spotted around Finucane. This beautiful photo was captured while enjoying a glass of champagne on the fabulous Pilbara Tours - twilight tour

💚 Green Birdflower (Crotalaria cunninghamii) blooming along the sandy shores of Cooke Point Beach and right beside the Luminescent Pathway near the corner of Keesing Street and Sutherland Street, Port Hedland

If you’re as wildflower-mad as we are, be sure to pop into the Port Hedland Visitor Centre were we currently have a dedicated wildflower information display.

The Bombing of Port Hedland

Today marks the anniversary of the Japanese air raid on Port Hedland on 30 July 1942, a significant event in our town’s wartime history.

More than 80 years on, we remember Private John (Jack) Adams, aged just 19, who was killed during the raid. He is remembered for his service, sacrifice and dedication to his country.

As we reflect on this chapter of Port Hedland’s history, we recognize the importance of preserving these stories for future generations and honour those who served to protect our nation.

Pop into the Port Hedland Visitor Centre at 13 wedge street Port Hedland to view our informative display and learn more about this important moment in our local history.
