TOM PRICE the town in the distance. Today we drove up to the top of Mt Nameless, with the highest vehicle access at 1016 metres, so magnificent views of ranges upon ranges. Tom Price is a "company town" as it was set up by Rio Tinto to service the workers for their iron ore mine.
Can't fault the prices at the local Coles that's for sure. For anything major, including shopping for clothes etc, workers would need to travel about 600km's to Port Hedland.
Ranges upon ranges
RIO TINTO IRON ORE MINE the mining trucks look like tonka toys in the distance. Seven days a week, four trains per day, each 2 kms long leave here for the port carrying a cargo of over $5million of iron ore. The mine operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Nothing like a bit of red dust.
