Useless Loop

Useless Loop is a closed company town in Shark Bay, Western Australia, that is home to the world's largest solar salt mine. The salt mine produces the purest grade of salt in the world, which is used in a variety of applications, including food production, water treatment, and pharmaceuticals.

While Useless Loop is not open to the public, visitors to Denham can still get a glimpse of the salt mine from a distance. The salt mine can be seen from the beach at Denham, where it appears as a white mountain in the distance. For those with a four-wheel drive vehicle, there is a track that leads to a viewpoint where the salt mine can be seen up close.

The Useless Loop salt mine is a reminder of the unique natural resources that Australia has to offer. It is also a testament to the ingenuity of the people who have developed ways to extract and use these resources in a sustainable way.
