Don Rhodes Mining and Transport Museum, Transport museum in Port Hedland, Australia.
The Don Rhodes Mining and Transport Museum features an outdoor collection of retired mining equipment, locomotives, and historical transportation vehicles from Western Australia.
The museum preserves machinery from the 1950s mining era, including the innovative Rhodes Ridley road train designed to transport heavy crushing plants.
The museum stands on the original location of the Parnngurr Aboriginal community, connecting the industrial heritage with indigenous historical land use.
Visitors can explore three standard gauge locomotives that operated on mining railways, with each machine providing specific technical information and operational history.
The collection includes the first modern Australian road train, which completed only 3,000 miles due to government licensing restrictions in the 1950s.
