Mount Isa Day 2

Day 80

sunny 33 °C
View AROUND AUSTRALIA on cssc's travel map.

Had a wander around town and visited the Tourist Bureau where they have two museums and an underground mine shaft tour. Their huge new $12m complex takes the pride and place of the town.

The only difficult part of the town is trying to deal with the dust created by their mines (located right next to the town). We both have blocked noses pretty much permanently from all the dust.

Took a trip up to the lookout to get an overall view of the town from the lovely ranges that surround the town. The surrounding coolabah country is really very attractive.
