Pardoo Station

Mount Goldsworthy, located on the south western side of the lease, is the site of the first iron ore mine in the Pilbara.

The station was sold in late 2014 by the Rogers family to a Singaporean-based investor, Bruce Cheung, for A$13.5 million.

[5] In 1913 the station had an estimated flock of 20,000 sheep, which were to be shorn using the 12 stands in the shearing shed in July of that year.

The Royal Flying Doctor Service sent a plane from Port Hedland but it arrived too late and Pederson had died.

[12] In 2012 the station lay directly in the path of Cyclone Lua and most staff were evacuated to Port Hedland to wait the storm out.

[12] The area was hit by 270-kilometre-per-hour (170 mph) winds and heavy rain, with many trees uprooted; the roadhouse owner, Janet Robb, described the property as looking like "an absolute warzone".

[13] Pardoo also took the brunt of Cyclone Rusty in February 2013, recording 250 millimetres (10 in) of rain in 24 hours along with strong winds.

[14] Ten years later in April 2023 Cyclone Ilsa passed directly over Pardoo as a Category 5 storm, causing over $4 million (AUD) of damage to the nearby roadhouse, tearing roofs off buildings and overturning road trucks.
