I’m fresh back from a holiday in Broome; we flew to Port Headland and then drove to Broome. Headland is a very exciting place. They have salt! They have anthills! They have trains! They have possibly the most unreliable air services in the country!

I was bored while I was there so I thought you would enjoy this photo essay. I present to you: the splendour of Port Headland.

All your thrilled reactions are belong to me.

To fully enjoy those photos, scroll back up while playing the song below (“Barbados” by The Models). It really brings out the party atmosphere of the iron ore trains. Actually the main radio station up there insists on playing this kind of sunny 80’s pop - it’s a mix of this, Duran Duran and Bowie’s Let’s Dance. If you ever need a sense of what it must have felt like to be a slightly embarrassed Bowie fan in 1986, telling your friends that he “used to be great”, head to Headland.
