Most photographers visit the Pilbara. I never left. Thirty years of returning, waiting, watching and photographing the Pilbara in all its moods has produced this — the most comprehensive visual record of the Pilbara ever published.

This book is intended to serve as my contribution to Australia's historical record. To show the Pilbara at a unique time in its history. To preserve a record of people, towns, stories and landscapes that will have disappeared in the years to come. To try and pull together a number of the region's most significant landmarks into one collection so people can see how beautiful this wonderful region was at this time in its history.
Why This Book
Spectacular and Unique
Using my incredible knowledge of the region, I have devoted 30 years to photographing the best of the Pilbara at its best.
Historic and Collectable
The Pilbara is changing rapidly. This book captures for eternity its most important towns, characters, stories and landscapes before progress engulfs it completely.
Comprehensive
No-one has photographed the Pilbara like this before. Most stay on the beaten track. I carved my own.
Enduring
My two earlier books on the Pilbara sold out rapidly. When this book is gone it's gone.

Praise for Hugh's Previous Work
"Very few times in history do people, communities and companies have the opportunity to record a legacy. A project of this scale would never have been possible without the vision of Hugh, his insights and how he positioned and produced the project that has documented 50 years of not just Rio Tinto's rail legacy but 50 years of community development and culture in Western Australia."
Lizzie Barlow
Change Champion, Rio Tinto
"Hugh has traveled across this sometimes harsh, but always spectacular landscape to bring us a powerful collection of photographs which epitomize the Pilbara. BHP Billiton Iron Ore is proud to be able to present them to you."
Ian Ashby
President, BHP Billiton Iron Ore
"Occasionally a person with exceptional skills arrives on the scene; they use these skills for the benefit of others as well as satisfying something integral to themselves. With his photographic skills and dedication, Hugh has captured, perhaps more than anyone, the essence of the Pilbara, complete with all its nuances. Hugh's work helps preserve the integrity of the region for current and future generations."
Peter Howell
Managing Director, Nexus Transport
