Cossack is a historic ghost town at the mouth of the Harding River. It had been home to the traditional owners for tens of thousands of years prior to this. In the 1870s it was a thriving port but by 1910s it was a sleepy ghost town. Today there are a few buildings left which have withstood the powerful cyclones of the Pilbara region
