I dropped into the information centre when passing through Newman and was pleasantly surprised with lots of local information from Liam, Halena. Liz was also very helpful and gave us some tips about the karijini National Park. Well worth the stop, and lots of parking for caravans.
Wonderful interesting, friendly staff very helpful with information. Lovely range of gifts. Good prices
Liam Liz and Lennel, did an excellent job on informing what there is to do in Newman. They are very knowledgeable about what is the best way to see the sights
Great service, lots of information and good souvenirs. Nice staff
A great location to gain information of Newman and the surrounding area. An extensive array of brochures and maps. You can gain your BHP rail licence, so that you can go out and see eagle rock falls, Calgan pools and Three pools. Potable water at the dump pit at the visitor centre.
Surprised to find this place as a resort as somewhere to stay for the night but it was perfect, if Not a little unconventional
As a Indigenous consumer, I was very impressed with the excellent customer service that was demonstrated by the team members at the Mount Newman visitor's centre. Mr Henry Nona
Super friendly helpful staff. Dump point Fresh water fill Caravan friendly parking MUZZ BUZZ on-site too

A short way to go up with a little bit hike. The road is full of rocks, have to be careful when go up. Really nice spot to chill, enjoy the view and beautiful sunset💜 If you are lucky, you can see the Super Adorable Rock Wallaby☺️
What a great view over Newman and out to the distant hills. You can really see how vast the land is from here. I love these views and I’d imagine that the sunsets are stunning I drove up to the lookout and then walked my dog down the rough footpath and back up another footpath, also rough and steep. I’d wear decent footwear, thongs won’t handle this!
A must visit spot, can walk from town and scramble up the side - really not that far, but most people would drive I guess. Offers a great view of the area. View at night is great too.
Beautiful view of a very red landscape. This was the first place I visited when arriving in Newman and we saw a rock wallaby! (sadly no pictures) 📍
Lovely views and can see for miles on a clear day.
Great views, You can drive right to the top, It's definitely worth a look
One thinks of Newman as being on flat country but a trip to Radio Hill will put you right. It's a great spot to get a true perspective of the town. There are covered picnic tables and a BBQ. No other facilities.
Great 180 degree views of the town and mine

Great venue for local artists. Framed, canvas on frame or just canvas prints for sale. Plus a small gift shop.
Well curated collection by local artists.
Theres lots of beautiful artwork which you can purchase from the art on the walls and loose canvases which you can roll up, (that's really handy if your travelling and want something unique to take home) and gift shop trinkets available.
A fantastic display of first nations art. The gallery curator was amazing! She was very knowledgeable and friendly/helpful. A must visit
Look I was really looking forward to coming here. I'd meet some local artists up at Radio Hill who exhibit their works through this gallery. They were keen that I should drop in. Unfortunately the staff were disinterested in engaging with guests/visitors. They were too busy entertaining themselves in their office space, gossiping and trying to prove how important they were to each other. I did attempt to talk to them but apparently they were only able to look down their noses at me and beer condescending.... So be it... This review is reflective of my visit The art work on display was extremely primative and not at all reflective of what some of the local artists are capable of. All in all not a place is recommend to see indigenous art nor purchase indigenous art.
Great little art gallery, huge beautiful space. Lots of art work for sale, very impressive. Well worth the visit.
A valuable resource for the community of this region. Well worth the visit. Buy yourself a unique piece of art work.
