Tom Price - Wednesday 20th April

So another deserted road with red banks and 250km to drive ! Yes - Australia is big! Luckily today I managed to attach my phone to the radio (there are no radio stations) and therefore Rob could listen to me singing to my favourites from the 70's!! There was little else to break the tedium and very few stopping places. This is mining and aboriginal country so our highlight was to see a mining train alongside the road and a big truck displayed at the entrance to both towns we came to. Tonight we are at Tom Price  - the highest town in Western Australia at about 2500 feet which does make it much cooler. It is named after some US steelman as is very prosperous since everyone works for Rio Tinto who pay well above the average. The site is a lovely oasis as shown by the photo:-
