Allow us to take you on tour, to the world’s second largest single open cut iron ore mine. Discovered in 1957 by
veteran prospector Stan Hilditch, the iron ore deposit was named Whaleback due to its resemblance to the shape of the Humpback Whale. Take the opportunity for photos from the top of the pit and learn about our iconic mine site which produces an astonishing 70mil tonnes of iron ore each year. Private tours might be able to be arranged for large numbers, depending on BHP’s Operational constraints and the availability of a tour guide.
