Mary Kathleen

On the road between Mount Isa and Cloncurry is the abandoned or rather dismantled uranium mine and township of Mary Kathleen. All that is left of the town is the bitumen street layout and some slabs and footings from the buildings. It was a very interesting and lovely few hours of exploring from an unexpected find. It was also a fantastic free camp site but we only stayed for lunch as were booked into Cloncurry caravan park for the night. Definitely somewhere to go back to. There would have been 30 vehicles camping here across the site.
The drive to Cloncurry is only about 120 kms but it is a good road mainly used by Road trailers and caravaners although it is Qld school holidays.
