About

How many ways are there to tell stories about a place, especially a place as vast as the Pilbara? Perhaps there are as many ways as there are people. Imagine that. For every person, a story of landscape, experience, home.

The Pilbara Project Blog is where some of these stories can be shared. It’s also a forum for stories from anyone, anywhere in the world, who has experienced the Pilbara, or recognises it in the places they have travelled to in their lives or in their minds. Read More

Sunset at Port Hedland

Hedland sunset

Thought I’d head out and get a shot of the sunset from the foreshore of Port Hedland.  Wasn’t too bad a scene but the following evening, the sunset was a lot more spectacular, but of course I didn’t have my camera to capture that one!  Dont you hate that!

Hamersley Ranges Sunrise

This morning, at a secret location just out of Tom Price, I managed to get a few pics worthy of keeping. This one I liked even though the sky is blown out. It was so cold and windy. It is amazing I managed the shot with no camera shake. There are so many good opportunities in the Pilbara. I guess that is why I keep going back, that and the temperature is generally alway nice. The apparent temperature, i.e. what it feels like, was -2.6 degrees the other day at Cape Naturaliste....
