The local water hole is where you can view the huge magnificent bar of Jasper. 

The story is when the town was named they thought this was Marble. 

Take a bottle or container with you to the pool so you can splash water over the rocks and watch the colours come alive even more. 

Jasper is not to be removed from this site, however just a few kms down the Hillside Road you will discover the Jasper Deposit where you can fossick to your hearts content. 

 Doolena Gorge is 41 km north of Marble Bar on Marble Bar-Port Hedland Road. 

Access via gates on the left just after you cross the Coongan River. Plan your trip to reach this beautiful spot around 5pm to watch the sunset light up the cliff face. Set your deck chair, pour a glass of wine  and sit back to watch the display. 

If you are feeling a little more energetic follow the track next to the creek for 50mtrs. Climb up the gully to the waterfall and watch the sunset colours from there. You are sure to get some wonderful photos. It is a free camping spot, and you will get to share the waterway with the pelicans.

Carrawine Gorge

Carrawine Gorge is a peaceful, beautiful and remote bush camp site located 160km from Marble Bar on the Ripon Hill Road, near the Woodie Woodie Mine. It is shared with travellers by the Mills Family on Warrawagine Station which is a million acre or 401,780 hectare property.

Located near Woodie Woodie Mine/ Telfer Mine/ Ripon Hills Rd junction. It is signposted to the right and has a 13km dirt road that is in reasonable condition, which is dependent on what the weather has been like and the road conditions may change. Recommended 4WD only and off road campers and caravans, though for larger vans you can unhitch,  enjoy the drive in and decide for yourself.
