Red Dog Memorial

The Red Dog Memorial is a bronze statue located in Dampier, within the City of Karratha in Western Australia's Pilbara region. Erected in memory of Red Dog, a kelpie-cattle dog who roamed the Pilbara in the 1970s, it stands beside Dampier Highway at the entrance to the town. The memorial commemorates the dog's loyalty and extensive travels across the region and has become an iconic roadside landmark and photo stop for visitors to Dampier and Karratha.

Visitors can expect a life-size bronze statue of Red Dog standing on a plinth beside Dampier Highway at the entrance to Dampier. The statue is set in an open, paved roadside area with an inscribed plaque detailing Red Dog's story. The surroundings are arid Pilbara landscape with road and coastal town setting. Visitors can view the statue up close, read the inscription, and take photographs. It is an outdoor, self-guided stop with no enclosed buildings.
