Karratha at its core is a mining town. The north west shelf gas processing plant is adjacent to the town across some salt lakes. In the same area are what looks like large piles of rocks but these are in their natural form and reportedly full of indigenous art. The town has many service industries and a couple of large areas dedicated to light industrial.
Below are some photos of the indigenous art and the gas processing plant. The plant is on the Burrup Peninsula out past Dampier. On the same peninsula is Hearsons Cove a piece of beauty amongst the industry.
