Town in Western Australia
Point Samson is a small coastal settlement 1,579 kilometres (981 mi ) north of Perth and 18 kilometres (11 mi ) north of Roebourne in the Pilbara region of Western Australia . The town is a popular holiday location for the nearby mining towns, including Wickham , Karratha and Dampier . Fishing is the main industry.
From 1938 to 1966 blue asbestos , also known as crocidolite, was carried here by truck from Wittenoom for shiploading by the Australian Blue Asbestos company.[2]
The townsite was investigated for further development in the 1980s.[3]
The population of Point Samson was 235 at the 2021 census, slightly up from 231 at the 2016 census,[4] [5] [6]
