You know you're in north-west Qld when.....

The kids couldn't understand why I stopped to take a photo!

An afternoon exploring Mt Isa today.

We found a big mine with a stripey smoke stack that reminded us of the lighthouse in Geraldton, a visitor's centre with a big sandpit and dinosaur and a really great adventure playground with a flying fox and scooter course which strangely enough was almost abandoned on a perfect-weather Saturday afternoon.













We got the vibe that that was probably most of the highlights so we'll continue the journey east along the Barkly Highway tomorrow morning.

Barring any celebrity photo moments with famous politicians of course. Is parliament sitting this week?
