Day 5: Tourist Day Mt Isa

Friday 29/06/2012 Day 5: Tourist Day Mt Isa

Late start, we all slept in till 8am. Last nights laundry needed to be dried because we ran out of $1 coins!. Amanda and I updated the blog whilst doing Laundry!. Amanda & Amy dropped Les & Ryan off at Lake Moondarra for a fish. We fished from 11.30 till 15:00. The only fish we saw was a Alligator Gar eating our discarded bread. There were lots of power boats on the Lake whilst we were fishing. Amanda & Amy went shopping and visited the information center. Amanda stocked up at Coles and got lost several times had to use the GPS to get back to the Caravan Park. Amanda accosted a poor elderly customer at Bunnings because no one would help her. We needed a fitting for the hose connection at the Caravan Park. Ryan got his wish, we had Beef Stroganoff for Tea.
We managed to find the town lookout and got photos as the sun went down. The male toilets hot water systems have failed and Ryan & Les had to go to the Workers Camp next door.
We filled up the 2 Jerry cans ready for our trip into NT.

  2. The Lake is really pretty. I thought it would be loaded with fish - too bad. (What did you think of the centre line on the road on the way in? They were just painting it as we went it and it was all over the place)
