The Lay of the Land

This is the map of Newman - quite a modern town
The Great Northern Highway (in A4) leads to Port Hedland, where the sea is, and the destination for the iron ore. 
The road in C1 leads to the iron ore mine, and you could also see in that square the Radio Hill lookout.
Also on this map you can see a tiny built of the railway (in A1), leading southwest to the mine, and northeast towards Port Hedland.
As you can see, Newman has its own Golf course!
