Marble Bar

Marble Bar is known as the hottest town in Australia. Thankfully we had a pleasant day.
We were amazed to see a beautiful stone building in town it reminded us of South Australia. It was built in 1897. Currently houses the police, court, information center and a museum.
The Ironclad hotel built in the 1890 is another interesting building. We popped in for a cold drink. And a look around.
The lookout at the water tower gives you a great view of the town and surrounding areas. The drive up is a bit rough but worth it.
Out of town the Chinamans pool has some great bird life. Plus a grassy picnic area. Marble Bar pool has a great reef of Jasper. If you continue out to the Jasper Deposit you can take samples. Wetting the rock brings out it's full range of colours.
We enjoyed exploring Marble Bar. It's a lovely little very well kept town with some very interesting history and scenery.Read more
