Tom Price

Tom Price, like nearby Paraburdoo, is a company town built by Hamersley Iron to house people working on the iron ore mines.

It has a good infrastructure for a small remote place with a good supermarket and even an airport with daily flights to Perth.

Most travellers use Tom Price as a base for exploring the spectacular Karijini National Park, which is 30 minutes outside town.
