Mount Isa

A long day of travel today about 500kms of mostly narrow sealed roads from Bedourie to Mount Isa. The road trip passed through 2 towns and the most exciting part was the 6 or so wedge tailed eagles we saw.
Not a lot to see in Mt Isa. Big town with a lot of mining around it. Good amenities but not a lot else going for it.
We didn’t book a caravan park and we’re lucky enough to get a site but for one night only. Mount Isa is the biggest town by far we have visited since leaving Victoria. Streets were neat enough but buildings old, rundown and abandoned. We had lots of warnings to lock up everything but no dramas.
Our van electrics not working properly for the step and awning. Not sure if it has been caused by dust, rocks, bouncing around or all of the above. As no vacancies in any parks for Sunday night we’ll drive to Cloncurry and see if we can get it fixed there.Baca selengkapnya
