From Nullagine we drove to Marble Bar, another quaint retired gold mining town. Had a drink at the famous Iron Clad Hotel which funnily enough has opening hours of 12 to 2pm then 4.30 to 8pm. We arrived at 1.40pm and had 20 minutes with an entertaining group of locals. They told us to come back at 4.30 and we'd see the same faces only they would be even funnier because they'd be even more tanked. We then drove out to Marble Bar Pool to see how Marble Bar got its name. As you can see in the photos the rocks are marbled but they are not actually marble. Marble Bar has the reputation of being the hottest town in WA, but while we were in the area it was absolutely perfect.もっと詳しく
The GypsiesThe Ironclad Hotel was erected as Marble Bar's first hotel in 1892. The building, clad in corrugated iron, retains its original facade today. John said to have a drink there for him.
