We crossed the border into Queensland today! I have noticed that there are now more fences rather than cattle crossings. In the Northern Territory the farms are too big to put fences around every paddock, so they just have cattle crossings and few fences.
We drove to Mount Isa on what is supposed to be the longest main street in the world! The main street is 188 kilometres long. The roads are very long and straight! On the way we saw a very big wind mill.
When we got to Mount Isa, we went to the information centre to book a tour of the mines for the next day. Then we looked for a caravan park, all the caravan parks were booked put for powered sites, but that didn’t matter much, I don’t think. We found an unpowered, site set up, and had some lunch. After lunch we walked around the street for a bit then came back to the van.
For dinner we had left overs, yum!

Hi to you in QLD! Love the photo of you all in mining gear. Hurray for female drivers! It must have ben an interesting underground tour.
Hope your weather is stilllovely and warm. Wonder if you will swim much in Qld?
I went to a Chewton Primary School play tonight (Tim and Mollie were in it as well) about the people of Chewton saving their swimming pool. It was excellent.
Keep having fun. Must say we’re looking forward to seeing you in July! Lol
