Marble Bar WA @ ExplorOz

It had a railway connecting with Port Hedland up until the early 1950's, which can be seen as a narrow gauge precursor to the network of standard gauge iron-ore railways that have since been created across the Pilbara.

It is known as 'the hottest town in Australia' a fact which is still recorded by the Guinness Book of Records. For 161 consecutive days to 20 April 1924 the temperature in the town never dropped below 100°F (37.8°C). This record still stands after nearly seventy years.

Facilities in town include a Caravan Park, a Hotel, the Travellers Stop. A little further out the back of town is Chinaman's Pool and Marble Bar Pool - natural watering holes suitable for swimming where you can also see the Jasper outcrop from which the town took its name.
