Mt Isa.On one side of the river the mine and processors, on the other the town. Xstrata have mining rights for an area 50 kms long and 5 kms wide west of the city. The process seems to involve
digging holes, getting the good stuff out, and putting the rubbish back in. Along the way they dig big holes, use big trucks and make big bucks!Around mine the town has grown, tourism has developed and good facilities have emerged. Getting into a caravan park in the peak season means booking ahead, but during the summer it might be easy. It was in the mid-20's each day we were there in winter. Add ten degrees or more, and summer might not be so pleasant ! Moondara Dam would have a special attraction in those times.
