1. Karijini National Park

The second-largest national park in Western Australia, Karijini National Park covers a whopping 627,422 hectares. The National Park frequently receives temperatures topping 40°C which makes winter a common time to visit. The park is home to some of the most scenic and breathtaking views in Australia.

2. Millstream Chichester National Park

Travel further north-west of Tom Price and you’ll pass by Millstream Chichester National Park. Over 120 species of bird, 30 species of mammal, 150 species of reptile and 500 species of plants can be found in the national park.

Tom Price sports and recreation

Make the most of your time in Tom Price with a hike up one of the many mountains in the local area. After, cool off with a nice cold beer, wine or soft drink and meal at Golfie Café in the town centre.

3. Mountain View Sporting Club

Try your skills at a bit of golf at the Mountain View Sporting Club. You can also stop in at the Golfie café and bar for a bite to eat or maybe a cold beer to cool off on a warm afternoon.

4. Climb Mount Nameless

Mount Nameless stands a massive 1,128 metres about sea level and travelling to the top provides sweeping 360-degree views of the Hammersley Ranges and the town of Tom Price. For a return hike to the top and bottom of the mountain, it’s recommended you allow approximately 3 hours.

5. Hike Mount Bruce (aka Punurrunha)

Mount Bruce (aka Punurrunha) is the second-highest mountain in Western Australia, offering a long and rigorous climb – perfect for hiking enthusiasts. We recommend tackling the 6-hour (approx.) round trip in the early morning before the real heat sets in.

Tom Price tours

Learn about the rich history and culture in and around Tom Price by booking as guided Tom Price Tour. Local tour guides will take you too often unreachable locations that very few visitors get to experience. Be sure to check tour operator opening months when booking things to do in WA as not all tours are open year-round.

The Lestok Iron Ore Mine tour begins at the Tom Price Visitor Centre where guests are issued with safety glasses and a hard hat. All guests are treated to air-conditioned comfort and full commentary on route to the mine so you can hear about the rich culture and history of the area.

7. West Oz Active Adventure Tours

From April until October, West Oz Active will be running a range of tours exploring Karijini National Park. These adventure tours give you access to most of the park, including restricted Class 6 gorges very few people see.

8. Tom Price Visitor Centre

Stop in at the Tom Price Visitor Centre in the centre of town for information on local tour providers and must-see locations. The centre will also guide you through important travel information and how to keep safe while travelling our vast outback.

Tom Price is located approximately 1,500km north of Perth, the capital city of Western Australia. By car, the trip to Tom Price will take you approximately 16 hours from Perth.
