"The Wall"
Designed to perfect the rugged terrain of the Pilbara and the importance of the mining industry to the region.
The walls are constructed from iron ore donated by the Goldsworthy, Hamersley, Robe River and Mt. Newman mining companies.
The structure was built in the period October 1990 to March 1991 by weekend volunteer labour from the Port Hedland R.S.L., the Pilbara Regiment and private individuals and with the support of the business and community of Port Hedland.
North West Vietnam veterans throughout the region assisted in the delivery of the 48 tonnes of ore used in the construction of the memorial.
The dedication pays tribute to the people of the north west, past and present who have contributed so much and whose sense of community and identification with the region have developed this area for the benefit of all Australians.
