Drove through to Tom Price, a mining town about 1600 kms north east of Perth. The town was named after Thomas Moore Price, who worked for the American Company, Kaiser Steel in the early 60's and was instrumental in convincing the mining companies that it was worth mining here.
Tom Price is close to Karijini National Park and we only visited here briefly the last time we were in this area. Today we did not go into Karijini. It wasn’t a bad drive only about 148 kms.
We drove through the Hammersley Ranges today yet another beautiful mountain range.
We didn’t do much when we got here, caught up with the washing – we haven’t been able to do much washing for the last week as we have not been on a caravan park since last Monday when we left Point Samson. We then went into town and did a bit of shopping. Later this afternoon we caught up with our phone calls, then we had a quick walk around the park, there are a lot of Victorians here. The first lady I spoke to was from Blairgowrie.

No photos today but tomorrow we are going on the Rio Tinto Mine Tour and also hope to drive up Mount Nameless. We have been told by a few people that it is worth going (including Damien who did it on their trip). Hopefully we will get some good shots.
