- Newman, located about 1186 km north 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 4,245, it is a modern mining town with suburban-style homes providing a stark contrast to the surrounding reddish arid desert area. Originally marginal cattle country, Newman was built in the 1960s by the Mt Newman Mining Company, with the discovery of rich iron deposits on nearby Mt Whaleback. The discovery marked the start of the resource boom in Western Australia in the 1970s. The town takes its name from nearby Mt Newman, named in honour of A.W. Newman, an early explorer who died of typhoid just before reaching the area in 1896. 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 21 June 2001 a train 7.353 km (4.568 miles) long, comprising 682 ore cars and eight locomotives made the Newman—Port Hedland trip and is listed as the world's longest train ever . 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. The Hickman Crater sits 35 km to the north.

- Newman (5 139 habitants) est une ville minière d'Australie-Occidentale centre administratif du comté de Pilbara-Est dans la région de Pilbara. La ville est située à 1 189 kilomètres au nord de Perth sur la Great Northern Highway et à 450 km au sud de Port Hedland. Située dans une région désertique, les températures minimales moyennes sont de 17,4°C, maximales de 31,4°C et les précipitations annuelles de 310 mm. Simple petit hameau agricole, la ville doit son développement à la découverte de vastes gisements de minerai de fer dans la région du Mont Whaleback en 1960. L'expoitation démarra dans les années 1970. Le minerai est expédié par de longs convois ferroviaires jusqu'à Port Hedland où il est embarqué pour être expédié sur le marché mondial. Le 21 juin 2001, un convoi formé de 8 locomotives et de 682 wagons de minerai mesurant 7 353 mètres de long relia les deux villes. C'est encore le train le plus long au monde.

- Newman - niewielkie miasteczko w stanie Australia Zachodnia, największe skupisko ludzkie w hrabstwie East Pilbara i zarazem jego ośrodek administracyjny. Głównym zajęciem mieszkańców jest praca w górnictwie. Powstało w latach 60. XX wieku, po odkryciu w okolicy żłóż rudy żelaza. Urobek jest transportowany na wybrzeże przy pomocy towarowej linii kolejowej łączącej Newman z Port Hedland. Jeżdżące nią pociągi składają się zwykle z bardzo wielu wagonów, a ich łączna długość przekracza 2000 m. W okolicach znajduje się także lotnisko. Miasto bierze swą nazwę od A.W. Newmana, odkrywcy badającego te tereny pod koniec XIX wieku.
