Mt Tom Price

Mt Nameless

Stayed at the Mt Tom Price Tourist Park.

Great spot at the foot of Mt Nameless, just south west of the township of Mt Tom Price.

Tom Price is a Rio Tinto town with the Mt Tom Price Iron Ore Mine the only game in town.
Its a great small town , very quite and because its 2400 ft above sea level, temperature is a bit cooler.

There is a 4 wheel drive track up mount Nameless, that is truly a genuine 4 WD track, but worth the effort, however the mountain had a few more name suggestions by the time we finished!
I thought Emma might be a good name!

From the top you get a great overview of the Pilbura, and the mine site, hard to describe, but cameras don't do it justice, you have to see it, the colours are amazing.

This is easily the best part of the road
 up Mt Nameless

Fashion Note:   If you are going to be colour coordinated in the Pilbura you need purple shoes!

Rio Tinto offer a mine tour, which is worth the time, the mine is a series of cuts that are about 16 km long, so more of a hole than a mountain, most of Mt Tom Price is now probably in China holding something up.

However they have also run a conveyor belt about 24 kms to a new cut, so plant life at Tom Price is probably another 30 years.

Butchos legs are tanning up quite nicely?
