Mount Isa - Australia
Described as the Oasis of the Outback - a gleaming mirage on the horizon for travellers from all directions - Mount Isa nestles among the ochre-red Selwyn Ranges, on the banks of the Leichhardt River.
Mount Isa's existence and its main financial base is the huge Mount Isa Mine, the world's largest single producer of copper, silver, lead and zinc. In 1923, John Campbell Miles found a silver-lead ore outcrop and sent a sample to Cloncurry to be assessed. Miles pegged two leases and soon 500 were filled. Mount Isa Mines took over operations in 1924. This rich deposit is still producing high volumes of ore and is classed as one of the world's great mines.
Top 4 things to do:
1. 4WD the Outback
The rugged terrain is a four wheel driver's haven, and visitors can explore the region just as the pioneers of the region did many years ago.
2. Dig for Fossils
The Riversleigh fossil deposits are among the richest and most extensive in the world, with some fossils dating back to 15 to 25 million years.
3. Go Below the Surface
Descending in to the mine in the Alimak Cage, you begin to explore the history of mining as the guides enthral you with their stories of the good times and the hard times that are had working deep under the earth.
4. Go Fishing in the Outback
That's right you heard correctly! Lake Moondarra is a great place to fish for a big Barramundi as well as a great place to relax and unwind or take to the water.
