From our campsite it wasn’t too far too Mt Isa anymore so we
arrived in the early morning.
The visitor centre was our first stop. It was
actually a really nice and big center and we spend quite a bit of time there,
gathering information, catching up online whilst enjoying a nice coffee and we
even had a shower!
From there we drove up to the lookout nearby. Whilst driving into Mt Isa you can’t miss the
fact that you’re driving into a mining town as the landscape shows it pretty
clearly but from the lookout it is more than obvious.
Besides mining there is not much to see and do in Mt Isa so
after stocking up we hit the road again. We had read something about the old
ghost town of Mary Kathleen and we decided to check it out. The road there was
badly damaged by time and weather conditions but it wasn’t too far fortunately.
Upon arrival we were a bit disappointed as there wasn’t much
more of the town left then some slabs of concrete foundation of buildings that
had once been. In regards to ghosts; the only thing spooky we noticed were two
grey nomads panicking as we had caught them camping naked! Lol!
So we decided to leave them in peace and drove on to Corella
Dam (which had been recommended to us by other campers). Camping at Corella Dam was beautiful
overlooking the water and the birdlife.
