Via the marvel that is the Intertubes comes these gems from the early days of Newman and Port Hedland:- Newman with hotel in the centre of the photograph (1972)
- Pool at the Walkabout Hotel, Newman (1972)
- Construction of Mount Newman Mining Company's 265 mile railway from Mount Whaleback in the Opthalmia Ranges to Port Hedland
- Japanese super carriers, Eisho Maru and Fukukawa Maru , Port Hedland (August 1970)
We're here now - Newman has kinda changed. Bigger. Busier. More mines. But ... how do you get a good coffee???
