Julia Creek to Mount Isa

Townsville, Queensland

Day 4: Today you’re headed for Mount Isa, the Rodeo and Mining capital of Australia. As you near Mount Isa, keep an eye out for super-sized machinery and the big stacks of the mines that seem to rise up out of the earth. Visit the Underground Hospital and Museum, a fully equipped hospital built in a large air-raid shelter during World War II and the bombing of Darwin. Everything is just as it was all those years ago! Tonight, make your way to the City Lookout to view the super pits and ever-changing light show as you watch the sunset over this mighty town.
