mount Isa

Interesting place the Isa, a very strong Irish influence with the Irish club as part of the dining/entertainment scene. Meals are good and reasonably priced there. The larger "award winning" Buffs club is fairly well supported by the rest of the locals again with fairly priced meals and also of a good standard. Our caravan park is 2.5 klms out of the town centre and we are on the direct flight path for Virgin, rex and Qantas flights leaving here for goodness knows where. We are doing an above ground mine tour tomorrow and also plan to see the underground hospital built by the Americans after Darwin was bombed during WW2. Caught up with some people I went to High school with yesterday. The next caravan had Murray and Judy Webb in it, right on the next site mind you. That makes about three couples from the Korumburra area that we have met so far. I suppose that will not be the end.
