Mt. Isa

Arrived in mt. Isa on the 9th (tuesday) in the afternoon and set up camp at the Mt. Isa caravan park. On the 10th (wednesday) we went to a lookout that over looks the town including the mine, we then walked around town and had a bit of a look, had lunch and then went to Hard Times Mining Company. At Hard Times Mine we had to all put these disposable orange overalls on with gumboots and a hard hat. Our tour guides name was Shane and while we were all walking through the mine he would try and scare you by saying things and walking off. We got to use a drill and go in some machines and also use them. 11th (thursday) we have packed up camp, had some maccas for breakfast and are now on our way to Lawn Hill National Park. Said goodbye to the rest of the group this morning because they are going home via the Barkley highway and will probably be home by Friday. We will we home around Wednesday sometime.
