Newman is a town in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. It is located about 1,186 kilometres (737 mi) north of Perth, and 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) north of the Tropic of Capricorn. It can be reached by the Great Northern Highway. In the 2006 Australian census, its population was 4,245. Newman is a modern mining town, with suburban-style homes contrasting with the surrounding reddish desert.
The Hickman Crater is 35 kilometres (22 mi) north of Newman.
Commercial area
============
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.
Transport
============
A privately owned railway, the Mount Newman railway, was constructed linking it to Port Hedland which itself was upgraded to handle shipment of the ore to the world market. On 21 June 2001 a train 7.353 km (4.569 mi) long, comprising 682 ore cars and eight locomotives made the Newman—Port Hedland trip and is listed as the world's longest ever train.
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.
The town is served by Newman Airport.
Architecture
==========
Being founded in the 1960s, Newman's architecture reflects the modernist styles of that decade and the next, being predominantly functional and devoid of detail or embellishment. As the town was founded and built by a steel company, the majority of buildings use a steel frame construction. This applies to the suburban style homes themselves, most of them being two prefabricated halves inserted together into a steel I-section frame, the columns of which are left exposed on the exterior of the home. This construction method serves not only to showcase the company's product, but also gives strong resistance to cyclone winds which can affect the region from time to time. For this same reason, most houses are elevated from the ground by a few steps. Many houses also have large air-conditioning units situated next to them to provide adequate cooling against the very hot summer temperatures.
Climate
==========
Newman has an arid climate, with very hot summers and mild winters. The temperature reaches or exceeds over 38°C almost every day in the summer. On 15 January 1998, the temperature reached an all-time recorded high of 47.0°C.
Precipitation is sparse, but the influx of monsoonal moisture in the summer, which generally begins in December and lasts until April, raises humidity levels and can cause occasional heavy storms. Winter months are mild to warm, with daily high temperatures ranging from the 20°C to 26°C (18-22°C), and low (nighttime) temperatures rarely dipping below 6°C.

In this interview they talk about their favourite things to do in Australia. Top destinations, experiences and enjoying sightseeing tours for tourists, backpackers, grey nomads and more.
Amy and Tom write about their experiences in their blog
Video Transcription: (part 1)
Interviewer: So Amy, Tom, you two have been travelling around Australia since until October, 2010. It is now August, 2011, and we are in Mission Beach, in Northern Queensland, and our campsite is just over to your left. So tell me what are your top five favourite things that you've done on your trip around Australia so far? Tom: Turquoise Bay, Cape Range National Park, Western Australia, definitely up there.
Interviewer: And what's so good about that? Tom: It's free to experience once you've paid the national park entrance, which is like 12 bucks. You just roll up, grab a snorkel and goggles, and you can wade out.
Amy: There is a coral reef literally ten metres away. Tom: Ten metres from the beach, beautiful white beach, and you're above a tropical reef. It's amazing, parrot fish, and you name it, it's there. Interviewer: Okay. What's that called again? Tom: Turquoise Bay, and it's in Cape Range National Park, Western Australia. Amy: 20 minutes drive from Exmouth. Interviewer: So about nine days drive from Sydney. Amy: That's all. Interviewer: Okay, second best? Amy: This isn't in any order. Interviewer: No, okay. All right. Two of five? Amy: Hartley's? Tom: Hartley's Crocodile Adventures, maybe is it called? I'm not sure. Amy: Yes. Tom: That's in Tropical North Queensland, just north of Cairns. Amy: About half an hour north of Cairns. Tom: And it's 35 bucks a person. Amy: It is seriously the best 35 bucks we've spent. Tom: Yeah, the best tourist attraction we've been to. Interviewer: So why's it so good over other parks? Tom: It didn't feel like a zoo. Amy: It was like a natural setting the whole way around. Wasn't it? Tom: Yeah. Amy: It didn't have any cages or anything containing the animals. Interviewer: So, basically you walk with the crocodiles? Amy: We started off. The first thing we did was we went on a boat cruise in their man-made lagoon, and in that lagoon there are 18 saltwater crocodiles. Tom: One of which is the second largest saltwater, Australian crocodile in captivity. Interviewer: How big was it? Tom: 5.4? Amy: 6, I think. Tom: 5.6 or was it 4.6? Amy: No, 5.6. Interviewer: Wide or long? Tom: It's big. Amy: Thank god not wide. Tom: Believe it or not. Interviewer: How wide was it? Tom: It looks artificial. Amy: It was about the width of the troopie. Tom: Yeah, width of a car. Interviewer: Width of a car. And how high was it? Tom: Not very high. Unimpressive height. Amy: Yeah. Interviewer: Basically enough to eat a person though. Tom: Yeah. Their croc attack show is incredible. Tom: Yeah, it's in the water with the crocs. Amy: These guys inside of the swimming pool with a four metre saltwater crocodile. And he's in the water. Interviewer: Crikey. Tom: Yeah, crikey, indeed. Interviewer: Look at this beauty. Amy: In the cloudy water with this crocodile just lurking around, and he is in shin deep water just talking to us. Interviewer: He's obviously retarded. Tom: Yeah, he knows what he's doing, or doesn't. Interviewer: Okay, third? Tom: Lake Argyle cruise. Interviewer: Where's Lake Argyle? Tom: Lake Argyle is in the Kimberly. Interviewer: Where's the Kimberly? Amy: Northern Western Australia. It's right on the border of NT, Northern Territory and Western Australia. Tom: It's on the end of the. Amy: We're a little bit biased because we worked there. Interviewer: How long did you work there for? Tom: Two weeks. Interviewer: Did you make anything interesting? Tom: Money. Amy: That was very interesting. Interviewer: Did you make any interesting signposts? Amy: Yes. Thank you for asking. Interviewer; Oh, that's interesting. Amy: That was my little duty. Interviewer: Your little gift to the Lake Argyle community? Amy: Yes, yes. But you have to go there to find out what it says. Interviewer: Okay. Tom: Lake Argyle was amazing. We worked there for two weeks, and the last day we were there we went on the tour, and it was just breathtaking. It was far better than either of us had expected it possibly could be. Interviewer: What made it so good? Amy: And our boss, Greg, who we were working for, he was without a doubt the best tour leader we have ever had. Interviewer: Was he the skipper of the boat o something? Tom: He was, yes. Just the enormity of it. You don't realize how big it is until you get out on the water. The bird life, the wildlife, everything shows you the history. Amy: And crocodiles too. Interviewer: Lots of Swedish girls in bikinis? Tom: Plenty of whatever you want. Interviewers: Norwegians and Swedes.
Top 10 Best Places To Live In Canada
Top 10 Best Places To Live In Canada In 2017:
Canada’s capital was named best place to live for new Canadians in a scoring system that gave extra weight to unemployment rate, average rent and cultural diversity when comparing cities across the provinces and territories.
New Canadian immigrants should be beating a path to Ottawa, according to new rankings from MoneySense magazine.
Ottawa also topped the overall poll in a study that incorporated everything from average income to taxes, crime and weather.
You do not have to travel too far for the second place city for newcomers, with Quebec City of Gatineau, just across the river, filling the runner-up spot.
When you first immigrated to Canada, you probably chose your city or town of destination based on several factors:
You might have already had family or friends in that city.
You had visited the city before and liked it.
You had done your research and believed it was the right choice for you based on what the city had to offer in amenities, employment and climate.
But Canada is a large and diverse country, with many different provinces and municipalities that could make your Canadian experience vastly different depending on where you are located.
If you haven’t settled in permanently yet, have you thought about exploring what other municipalities have to offer you, both in and outside your chosen province?
Here're the 10 best places to live in Canada:
1. Ottawa, Ontario.
2. Gatineau, Quebec.
3. Waterloo, Ontario.
4. Brossard, Quebec.
5. Delta, British Columbia.
6. Saanich, British Columbia.
7. Burlington, Ontario.
8. Regina, Saskatchewan.
9. St. Albert, Alberta.
10. Guelph, Ontario.

Exploring Karijini National Park
This footage is from a few jam packed adventure days at Karijini National Park in Northern Western Australia.
Extreme heat, remote conditions and harsh outback hides these beautiful gorges, but once you take the hard trails down to the bottom just to see them from within, it makes the cool waters of the pools even more welcoming!
Karijini has definitely earned a spot in my top 10 places I've been!!
