Marble Bar, Western Australia


Marble Bar is a town in the Pilbara region in far North Western Australia. About two hundred kilometers inland from Port Hedland. It is also one of the hottest places on earth!
Marble Bar is a very historic town, with many old building and remnants from the past, dating back to the 1800's. It is also a place of immense natural beauty, unspoilt gorges and oasis like waterholes, only accessable by four wheel drive, Although it once boasted a population of five thousand people, during the Gold Rush era today it boast fewer than 500 residents.
Another point of interest I've been there and had a beer at the famous Iron Clad Pub! This place boast some very interesting characters. Go there and check it out for yourself . Australia's hottest town is cool! The black and white photo below is of Marble Bar in the late 1800's
