Tom Price between the mine and mountain views

As the gateway to Karijini Country, Tom Price is a place where mining and landscape come together: the Tom Price Iron Ore Mine is part of the panoramic views from Jundunmunnah/Mount Nameless, while the Mine Site Tour offers insights into operations. There are also sports and play activities in town. This mix offers several distinct perspectives on Tom Price.

Mining and panoramic views

The Rio Tinto Iron Ore Mine Site Tour lasts 90 minutes. Visitors see the trucks, shovels and drills used in operations, as well as crushing and screening facilities and the train-loading area. The tour thus covers everything from the machinery in use to the facilities and loading. The duration gives you a specific timeframe for planning; you also get an insight into several aspects of mine operations.

Jundunmunnah, also known as Mount Nameless, is four kilometres from town. It offers panoramic views of Tom Price and the Tom Price Iron Ore Mine. Unlike the Mine Site Tour, which focuses on the vehicles, machinery and facilities used in operations, the views here take in the town and mine. If you are interested in the connection between Tom Price and its mining industry, you can choose between an insight into operations and a broader view from the surrounding area.

Activity and play in town

The Tom Price Pump Track offers people of all ages and abilities opportunities to skate, cycle and ride scooters. The Tom Price Disc Golf Course at Minna Oval has several configurations for beginners and advanced players. The activities have different focuses: the pump track offers a choice of ways to get moving, while disc golf has configurations for different skill levels. If you are travelling with people who have different interests, you can weigh up these options accordingly.

The water playground at Tom Price town mall has climbing equipment and shaded seating. Vic Hayton Memorial Swimming Pool has a playground for children. For families with children, these are different local options: the water playground combines climbing opportunities with shaded seating, while the playground at the pool offers another focus.

Getting oriented locally

The Tom Price Visitor Centre is on Central Road in the town centre. You can get tourism brochures and maps there; the Centre also issues permits for the Rio Tinto Private Rail Access Road and provides information about local walking and cycling trails. This centrally located point of contact offers both general travel guidance and information about local trails. Issuing permits for the Private Rail Access Road is another specific service offered by the Visitor Centre.
