Marble Bar, Western Australia.
The town burned itself into the history books when residents endured the longest heatwave ever, anywhere in the world. For 160 days in 1923 and 1924, Marble Bar recorded temperatures that breached the 100 degrees Fahrenheit heatwave mark, while the hottest days on record were in January 1905 and January 1922, when it reached a sweltering 49.2 degrees Celsius.
To enjoy the best of the weather, visit between April and September. It's the ideal climate for exploring the area's natural wonders and gold rush history.
Today, Marble Bar is home to around 410 residents and healthy gold, silver, copper and jade mining operations. In its mining heyday, it boasted a population of 5,000, following the discovery of gold in the early 1890s, when pioneers named the settlement after a formation of marble-like jasper nearby.
