Mary Kathleen....

So Sundays adventure was a visit to Mary Kathleen uranium mine, halfway between Cloncurry and Mt Isa.....its a disused uranium mine and the indigenous people call it the poison pool. Amazing water colour, something to do with the quartz in the rock...here's more info if you are interested....

We spent a couple of hours exploring the abandoned town, I would love to hear stories from people who actually lived there, life would have been hard!
We went in a camel hunt as I promised my little friend Georgia a camel photo, and had been told there were camels out near here...but again no camels!!!! We did find a very interesting 4wd track that follows some old mines and ends at a waterfall call Fountain Springs....that's our next adventure...swags in the car and an overnighter at the waterfall....excited much!
