COSSACK

Cossack, NT, 0850, is a historic ghost town located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, not the Northern Territory as the NT postcode might suggest. Established in the 1870s as a port servicing the region's pastoral and pearling industries, Cossack was once a thriving hub but was abandoned in the early 20th century due to the decline of pearling and the development of nearby towns. Today, it is a heritage site featuring restored buildings, including the courthouse, post office, and police quarters, offering visitors a glimpse into its rich history. The area is also known for its scenic coastal views and proximity to the nearby Indigenous heritage of the Ngarluma people.
