We left Walkabout creek after a quick drink and rest break and then through Cloncurry and on to Mount Isa where we had a 4 day stopover to recharge, do shopping, cook up and most importantly, wash the sheets from the bed! We went down a mine and around the museum, we did consider a helicopter flight over Mt Isa but as it was windy while we were there, we thought better of that.
