The lost tribe

No we are not lost in the wilds. I should have blogged in Mt Isa but Deb and Ian caught up with us and we got busy with repairs, shopping, washing, eating annd talking.
We stayed overnight in Julia Creek on the way to Isa and were lucky to get a site among the swarms of nomads on the move. The entertainment for the evening was the manager of the park trying to move on a swarm of screaming Galahs that descended just on evening. Guess who won?
The drive to Isa was a culture shock as we only saw nomads occasionally interspersed by  roadtrains.

The town itself is totally dominated by the mine and noise is part of the 24 hour clock. Not my choice of places I would want to live. The mine is at the end of the Main Street.
