Tom Price is a mining town in Western Australia. It is also the highest located town with respect to sea level in the region and also serves as a launching pad for Karjini National Park. It has a tropical semi-arid climate and thus it is best to visit here in May and June when the weather is good and there is not much chance of rains, except for some passing showers.

Karijini National Park

The Karijini National Park is the second largest national park in Western Australia and it is located 70 kilometers away from the town of Tom Price. This park is known for its many gorges, slot canyons, walking trails and waterfalls. An impossible to miss attraction here are the numerous holes that are filled fresh and cold water where visitors can swim and feel refreshed.

Wittenoom

Wittenoom was a former booming asbestos mining town and is now a ghost town located at a 90 minutes ride from Tom Price in Western Australia. Originally a pastoral site, it went on to become the biggest town in Pilbara region during 1940s and 1950s because it was the only source of blue asbestos in the country then. Subsequently as health concerns with mining increased, they led to a significant drop in mining business and ultimately the town was put to sleep.

Mount Nameless or Jarndunmunha

Standing at 1128 meters, Mount Nameless is the highest motorable mountain in West Australia.

Atop this mountain, one is awarded with a stunning 360-degree degree view of the town, Karjini National Park and an iron mine below.
