How different to when I arrived in May 1971. . The North West Coastal Highway was unsealed from Maniliya Roadhouse (about 150/200M north of Carnarvon). I think I could have counted the houses in Sth Hedland on my fingers. I was working for DCA (Aviation - Fed Govt) at the Airport. I lived in an unairconditioned house in almost the centre of town. The house was older than me. I moved to an airconditioned house in Sth Hedland in April 1972 (not too far from what was then the Mt Newman high rise flats). BTW - no TV, the ABC radio was from 6.00 am to 12.00 midnight. There was a picture gardens (like the one still operating in Broome ) and the drive-in theathre. It was a great place, I think I knew nearly half the residents by the time I left in 1973. Might have to return - soon.
I was there in 1974 nice area around marble bar goldsworthy port hedland its the real australia i hope i get back there some day to have an ice cold beer when its 42c in the shade.
I was there in 72. hated the place at first but didn't have the money to leave. It grew on me and I stayed for 2 years. even now I still have fond memories of crazy nights at the Pier and the 'Nade' hotels. Was old Stirrup Iron Jack still pretending to play the piano on the Juke Box at the Esplade?
Lived in the Pier Hotel for 3 months while extending the main Hospital Readybuild Const did the prefab in Perth We dug 140 2m by 2m hole for Cyclone pads 2mts deep Mixed with the staff of Pier and Espanade hotels were really friendly with the nursing staff at the hospital Even joined the blood donors Was in 70 to 71 great times but very hot and humid cheers
Yeah at times it can be a real expensive fuck all 2 do shit hole BUT!,,there is alot of potential there 2 make it much less of a crappy place and make loads of money in the process, like,a real nightclub that goes all night and in aircon (especially on pimps & pro night,,tooo sweaty) & a proper cinema that has the same movie choices that the city1's have,not movies that r about to come out on dvd,,plus i think the fishing there is the best. But every time i leave something always brings me back.
I lived in Port Hedland 15yrs ago and thinking of going back to Port Hedland Western Australia
