Distinguished and Famous people from Ashburton - Tom Price
The Shire of Ashburton's notable connections include the man commemorated in the name Tom Price and people recognised for building community life in its towns. These are different forms of influence, from mining development to the steady work behind children's sport.
⛏️ Thomas Price
Thomas Price was a raw-materials specialist for the American company Kaiser Steel. In 1962 he examined iron ore deposits in the Hamersley Range and helped encourage confidence in their development. He died that year, before the mining township that bears his name was established. The name Tom Price therefore commemorates a participant in the region's industrial development, rather than describing a founder who spent decades living in the completed town.
🤸 Sara Ward
Sara Ward has been recognised by the Shire's Ashburton All Stars programme for her coaching and volunteer work with Tom Price Gymnastics Club. The council's account describes sustained support for children's skills and confidence, with families travelling from other Pilbara communities to participate. Her local contribution is the patient work behind a sporting club: regular sessions, encouragement and the organisation needed to keep children involved, well away from the attention given to professional sport.
