Description
Weipa Bauxite Mine From The Air by Joan Stratton - Looking across the Rio Tinto bauxite mine at Lorim Point, in the foreground are the tailings dams, those vast red / orange areas, then past the holding dam to the beneficiation plant, workshops and admin buildings. The river towards the horizon is the Embly River and out of view to the right is the mouth of the Embly opening out to the sea - Gulf of Carpentaria, Weipa, Queensland, Australia.
Weipa is located on the western side of Cape York Peninsula, approx. 820 kms (507 mi)north of Cairns and 2,471 km (1,535 mi) of Brisbane, it is located closer to PNG's Port Moresby than the Queensland capital of Brisbane.
Weipa is just south of Duyfken Point, a location which isnow agreed to be the first recorded point of European contact with the Australian continent by the Dutch explorer Willem Janszoon, on his ship the Duyfken, in 1606.
Weipa is the largest town on the Cape with approx. 3500-4000 people.

The red of Weipa dirt is from the bauxite ore, usually small balls like stones very slippery and not good when wearing high heels :))
