We spent two days at Tom Price, a small mining town, surprisingly green after all the red dirt. We were impressed with the water misters which spurted fine spray into the air above head height as we walked down the main street. Very refreshing!
This very gigantic ore truck is parked at the intersection as you turn into Tom Price. It weighs c.98,000 kgs unladen and moved 23 million tonnes of ore in its lifetime.
The campground (the only one in town), was full of kids who'd come for the BMXRacing or for the T-ball competition. There were lots of expensive bikes, uniforms with team names like 'Red Sox' and very excited kids camping in all kinds of tents with their families.
We did some shopping... Another $150 for a bag of groceries.. and moved on.
