We went to the Information Centre only to be told that it was booked out in Mt Isa and the only place to stay was the RSL Club carpark which was an overflow site. That'll do..at 5pm what else could we do. We arrived to find the committee directing us to the correct area. They then opened up the bar and put on meals because they had around 25 caravans sitting in their parking lot. That pretty cool of them to do that. We stayed 3 nights in the overflow area. No showers but the Information Centre had them for $2 for 5 minutes. At least we could sneak around the back of the RSL and use the toilets. That was a bonus. We met some lovely people in the carpark including Ruth and Jeremy and Darly and Lyn.
We really didn't get much done here but we still enjoyed ourselves. The mining industry really is a huge thing in this town. Which explains why it is so difficult to get in. Next time we will book ahead at Mt Isa. The second time in our whole trip we haven't been able to get a spot where we wanted to stay. That's not a bad average after being on the road for 4.75months. We say goodbye to Queensland as we leave today. Our next stop the Border of Northern Territory. Can't wait.
