Pilbara (English spelling)

Japanese: ピルバラ(英語表記)Pilbara
Pilbara (English spelling)
The area includes the coastline from Port Hedland to Dampier, the De Grey River, the Ashburton River, and the Hamersley Ranges in the northwest of Western Australia, Australia. It is an arid region with little and unstable rainfall, and is far from the core of the state, so it is not suitable for extensive sheep farming or agriculture. However, there was a gold rush for several years from 1888, and mineral resources were extracted. Especially since the 1960s, large-scale iron ore development led to the construction of mining towns such as Newman, Goldsworthy, Tom Price, and Panawonica (1972), ports such as Dampier, Port Hedland, and Cape Lambert (1972), and four railways. Iron ore is exported to Japan and other countries. In the 1970s, large-scale natural gas deposits were discovered offshore, and industrial development is planned. Population 48,620 (1991 estimate).
