Tom Price: Mine Tour and Panoramic Views

Tom Price combines opportunities for exercise and play in town with an industrial perspective and panoramic views of the town. Different highlights can help guide your travel plans: recreational activities, the Rio Tinto Iron Ore Mine Site Tour and the view from Jundunmunnah/Mount Nameless. Tom Price is also considered a gateway to Karijini Country.

Recreational activities in town

The Tom Price Pump Track offers people of all ages and abilities opportunities to skate, ride and scoot. The Tom Price Disc Golf Course at Minna Oval has several configurations for beginners and advanced players. The two activities offer different experiences: the Pump Track includes several ways to get moving, while the Disc Golf Course has configurations for different experience levels. The distinction is clear when choosing between them: the Pump Track brings together different ways to get moving, while the Disc Golf Course varies its configurations by experience level.

The water playground at the Tom Price town mall has climbing equipment and shaded seating. The Vic Hayton Memorial Swimming Pool has a playground for children. Together, these two play areas complement the town’s active recreation options.

Mine tour and panorama

The Rio Tinto Iron Ore Mine Site Tour lasts 90 minutes. Visitors see the trucks, shovels and drills used in operations, as well as the crushing and screening plants and the train-loading area. This makes the tour a clearly defined technical experience: it brings together the equipment in use, the crushing and screening plants, and the train-loading area. The 90-minute duration also gives you a clear timeframe for the tour when planning your stay.

Jundunmunnah/Mount Nameless is 4 km from town and offers panoramic views of Tom Price and the Tom Price Iron Ore Mine. This view differs from the Mine Site Tour: from the mountain, the town and the mine are seen together, while the tour focuses on equipment, plants and train loading. The nearby panorama and the technically focused tour therefore offer different perspectives on Tom Price. The area’s status as a gateway to Karijini Country adds to these specific town and mining attractions.

Getting around Tom Price

The Tom Price Visitor Centre is on Central Road in the town centre. There, you can get tourism brochures and maps, as well as information about local walking and cycling trails. The centre also issues permits for the Rio Tinto Private Rail Access Road. These services serve different purposes: brochures, maps and trail information help you find your way around, while the permits are specifically for this road. The Visitor Centre therefore combines general visitor information with a specific service for the Rio Tinto Private Rail Access Road.
