Day 7: - Mt Isa

Well it's Good Friday and we slept in until 8am. We were going to drive out to Duchess but after having a look around the Isa this morning, we decided it was too far to go and too little to see.

Housekeeping - we did our first load of washing and I did a repair to our water system.

Then we all piled into Doug & Sue's car and visited Lorelle's old house in Darling Crescent, Doug & Sue's old house, the town lookout, through the town centre and then we picked up some lunch (KFC - no, not the new 'Double Burger') and headed to Lake Moondarra. The lake is beautiful - crystal clear water and very inviting. Surprisingly, there was no-one swimming but a few power boats were on the water. We thought it would be more crowded but it seems that Mt isa is pretty quiet over the Easter break - more people leave the city than arrive - our van park has numerous spare sites.
