Tuesday 1 August - Mount Isa

Up this morning and drove to Mount Isa.  Complete change of scenery today.  Still the red dirt but stones as well forming hills.  We were used to seeing for miles across flat landscape so it was very pleasant to have a hilly landscape.  Couldn't get into the park until after 11 so as we were driving past Harvey Norman went in to kill time.  We also stopped at Super Cheap as we had to buy a new tow ball lock due to a little accident with the old one. They didn't have one so next stop was Autobarn who also didn't have one but they hope it will be on the supply truck due on Wednesday or Thursday so we will have to wait and see.  Next stop was the park where we set up and had lunch.  There is a Bunnings here and we needed a couple of things so we headed there and then walked around the main shopping district.  Back to the van.  We have had 5 different people come over inquiring about the kayak so the afternoon has been busy.  We have decided not to do a mine tour as we have done the one in Bendigo and the one here says you are underground for 2 1/2 hours.  No thank you.
