Mt Isa, Camooweal

Camooweal - camped down on the Georgina river - with our lovely neighbours for the evening John and Glenda - we shared their campfire. We meet John and Glenda when we camped by the river at Clem Walton Park two night ago. Now Chris wants a s/steel colander!

From Mt. Isa Lookout

Monday 30/05/2011: Visited Mt Isa Lookout. The copper and lead mines are right in the centre of town. We did a big supermarket shop in preparation for our travel further Nth west across nothingness. Travelled to Camooweal where we stayed on the bank of the Georgina River in one of the prettiest spots on earth. Abundance of different birds, broglas, ducks, wedge tailed eagles (one nesting) while another keeping a look out, willie wagtails, kites, herron and a million corellas. The water was covered in waterlillies. We sat and watched nature as the pair of eagles watched over their nest. We sat and chatted by a camp fire with the couple Glenda and John that we meet at Clem Walton Park.
