Marble Bar, Western Australia

The town Marble Bar  set a world record of most consecutive days of maximum 37.8 degrees  or more, during a period of 160 such days from 31 October 1923 to 7 April 1924. Marble Bar is located 152km’s South East of Port Headland and has a population of 194 people, but at its peak during the gold rush the town boasted a population of 5000 people. And during Dec and Jan the temp rise well above 45 degrees.

here are a couple of shots I took from Marble Bar on our way to Karijini National Park. Tis was an overnight stop for us which cost us 30 bucks for the night, under the stars of the caravan park with Rod and Flemming.
