Weipa has the largest community on the Cape York Peninsula - 2830 people, as recent studies show. This is also the largest town in the Gulf of Carpentaria from Queensland, Australia. In Weipa, the economy is based on the export of bauxite and cattle. Weipa was practically built by Rio Tinto Alcan, a large aluminum company named back in the day Comalco. The company also built the railway, so the bauxite transportation problem was solved. The community has just 2830 locals because the town was built especially for the workers of the company in the mid 60's. If you have the chance to visit Weipa, here are some things you can do in this little, but charming town in Queensland.
