This quote from Wikipedia just about sums it up:
“Marble Bar is a town and rock formation in the Pilbara region of north-western Western Australia. It was the social centre of European settlers in the Pilbara region during the early 1900s, predating the construction of other towns now established.
Annual rainfall: 361.7 mm (14.24 in)
Established: 1893
LGA: Shire of East Pilbara
Location: 1,476 km north east of Perth; 152 km south east of Port Hedland; 242 km North of Newman
Mean max temp: 35.3 °C (95.5 °F”) – that says it all as the mean max all year round as Marble bar is recognised as the hottest town in Australia
The “Bar” on the Coongan River, that looks like marble, is in fact Jasper; other locations to visit are the old Comet Mine and museum, Flying Fox Lookout and Chinamans Pool, all featured in our photo gallery, click on the image:
