Weipa

a settlement in Australia, on Cape York Peninsula, in the state of Queensland. Bauxite is mined (about 10 million tons in 1974). Part of the bauxite is used in the production of aluminum oxide at Gladstone and Weipa. The rest is exported to Japan, France, and the Federal Republic of Germany.
