Mt Isa, Queensland
Driving into Mount Isa the first thing I think is not 'I really need a shower' but rather 'is that really a mine site right in the middle of town?'
I heard or read somewhere that at night the mine looks like an ocean liner in the desert. I am not sure I am buying that however the scale of the thing is immense however it is still strange that you have mine, main road, town.
Apparently you can hear the blasts from the dynamite at 8am and pm - I didn't hear anythi...
