Fortescue, WA 6716, is a remote locality situated in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Known for its stark, arid landscapes and mining activities, Fortescue is sparsely populated and primarily associated with industrial and resource operations. The area is characterized by its rugged natural beauty, including vast open plains and striking red earth. Accessibility is limited, with the region being heavily reliant on mining infrastructure. Fortescue's name is often linked to the Fortescue River, which flows through the area, and the broader Fortescue Metals Group, a major player in the Australian mining industry. Life here is shaped by the demands of mining, with a focus on industry rather than residential development.
