Onslow - Western Australia Onslow townsite on Beadon Bay and port in Beadon Creek, Western Australia. Located 1387 km north of Perth, Onslow lies on the coast 82 km from the main North West Coastal Road. It is known in the Pilbara as 'Cyclone City', having had numerous dead-hits from cyclones over the years. 22 km offshore are the Mackerel Islands which are noted for their excellent sport fishing and bottom fishing. Onslow's solar salt field is constructed on tidal salt flats surrounding the town. The 1.3 kilometre jetty, 3.5 kilometre conveyor belt and stacker equipment provide spectacular viewing when lit up at night, join a tour from the Onslow Visitor Centre, located in the Goods Shed Museum. This historic building originally came from the Old Onslow Townsite and is full of memorabilia and relics from days gone by.
