Newman

We drove from Meekatharra to The Gascoyne River to camp yesterday. It was a nice camp by the river, but the flies were horrendous, so stayed in side most of the time and no photos were taken.
Today, we drove to Newman and are bush camping just outside town. Newman is an iron ore town with large BHP mines. The town is quite tidy and we were able to do some shopping at Woolies. The lookout was worth driving to. The town is surrounded by mountains and is quite picturesque. There is a silhouette of Stan and Ella on the hill coming into town, Stan discovered the iron ore, and Ella was his wife. The correllas that we saw have a problem with the red dirt and are red in colour.Read more
