Newman, located about 1120 km northeast of Perth and 9 km north of the Tropic of Capricorn, is a town in the Pilbara region. It can be reached by the Great Northern Highway. With a population at the 2006 census of 5,139.[1], it is a modern mining town with leafy suburban-style homes providing a stark contrast to the surrounding reddish arid desert area.
Originally marginal cattle country, Newman was built in the 1960s with the discovery of rich iron deposits on nearby Mt Whaleback. The discovery marked the start of the resource boom in the WA in the 1970s. A privately owned railway was constructed linking it to Port Hedland which itself was upgraded to handle shipment of the ore to the world market. On June 21, 2001 a train 7.353 km (4.568 miles) long, comprising 682 ore cars and 8 locomotives made the Newman--Port Hedland trip and is listed as the worlds longest train ever [1]. The ore trains are typically over 2 km long. Newman is also a service town to the nearby mining settlements like Tom Price and Paraburdoo.
Typical of company towns, Newman is laid out with a core, where shopping and hotels are located, surrounded by residential areas, with more industrial activities on the outskirts. There is one shopping mall in the town, two shopping plazas, three hotels, and three bars/restaurants outside of those contained in the hotels. One public outdoor pool serves the town's population.

, just out the back yard for a few nights ...the pilbara Newman WA
A popular destination for a day’s outing is Kalgan’s Pool, a 1.5 hour drive from Newman. The deep pool has an exquisite blue colour almost all year round. An immense cliff face surrounds the pool and the best way to describe it is a tranquil oasis perfectly set amidst the rusty, red desert landscape, a great spot for camping, swimming and picnics. Access to Kalgan’s Pool is via four wheel drive only and you will need to get a permit from the Newman Visitors Centre to access the road in. The beauty of Kalgan’s Pool has captured the focus of Hollywood, being the set for Japanese Story, which starred Australia’s own Toni Collette.
