Day 11, Mt Isa

Bye bye Outback, hello Queensland! We're clocking up the kms - 5,780 and five states.

Will spend the night here in a motel and have our third shower for the trip! Oh, blessed running (hot) water, how I love thee...

Mt Isa is home of Australia's tallest free-standing structure and it's not pretty. It's a smelter stack for the lead-silver mine, which is also one of the largest mines of it's kind in the world!
