Keeping an eye on the Pilbara

Red dust sneaks in everywhere it can – in your eyes, up your nose and into the depths of your ears. It quickly builds up during the long hours spent driving on sandy four-wheel drive tracks snaking their way through the Pilbara.

So untouched, so beautiful, yet sometimes so inaccessible. North Western Australia is home to some of Australia’s richest export resources and a vast coastline high on our national security agenda.

The Pilbara Regt is the eyes and ears of the area, guarding our sunburnt country.
