Your second photo is interesting. "Tom Price" is a very cool name for a town.  ;)

Ashburton South Island New Zealand. Rest assured 'Tom Price' may sound cool but the temperatures usually exceed 100F. The majority of iron ore mining (loading of trucks/trains and ships) is remotely controlled from Perth.

Perth - Capital of Western Australia. The photos I am posting are from my own slides taken in 1963. I apologize if they are a bit hazy.
