North West Tours detailed interpretive tour of this amazing outback city starts with its discovery by John Campbell Miles in the early twenties and continues along to the present day. Looking at the natural fauna of the area and traditional dwellings. Taking a sneaky look at the mine before getting a photo opportunity in front of the lead smelter and bore mill. Visiting Mount Isa's train station only metres from the mine and the end of the line for "Progress and Prosper" as the rail line extension to Darwin never eventuated. Before heading back to Outback at Isa they visit Buchanan Park home to Mount Isa's world-famous Rodeo, the biggest Rodeo in the southern hemisphere.
