Mt Nameless, just outside (3.5kms – the turn-off is actually on the road to the mine), at 1,128m high, is the second highest accessible mountain in Western Australia. The track though relatively easy, is rough and really only suited to 4wds, covering about 6km and taking about 20 minutes to get up.The views are fantastic and it’s well worth the trip, if you’re already up here visiting Karajini etc. – I plan to go back in the Wet.

Whilst we were exploring at the summit, (the views are genuinely breathtaking and in many ways, photos simply don’t do it justice), we did have a bloody laugh, when we stumbled upon something utterly ludicrous – somebody (s) had placed a bright purple vibrator on a rock, with a small cross beside it. There was writing on said vibrator, however we weren’t of a mind to get too close! We four blokes couldn’t work out what it was all about, but later, when we were telling others about it, a lady said it was possibly a memorial grave site as the batteries had died! She could be right! However I think my description of it as an ancient religious fertility site has a more authentic ring.

If you’re driving through the area, (Karajini is only 80kms away), Tom Price is probably essential stopping, there is one service station, a Shell on the outskirts of the town, it’s not 24hours, but is open seven days a week from around 5.00am through to 9.00pm, the town has a Cole supermarket and a couple or restaurants – and a pub. There is accommodation available at the Windumurra camp on the hill in the centre of the town and also an excellent caravan park with some cabin accommodation on the Nanutarra Road. There is excellent mobile reception (it’s a mining town, run by Rio Tinto).
