We have finally arrived at the Gulf of Carpentaria after visiting Mount Isa. You;d only visit Mount Isa to say you've been there. The mine is literally in the main street.

The big highlight was taking a cruise out into the Gulf from Karumba to watch the sunset. I have attached a picture. We have now seen sunsets over the Gulf, the Great Australian Bight, Mindle Beach at Darwin and Broome while sipping on wine and nibbling cheese and biscuits.

This blog entry is from the Georgetown Library in Queensland. See if you can find Georgetown. The library doubles as the Visitor Information Centre and mineral display, TerrEsstrial. It is open 7 days a week, 9 hours per day with one staff member. And we think we have it hard.

I've also included a picture to give you an idea of how far Mt Isa is from everywhere and how the mine is in the cntre of town. That picture is taken from the main shopping centre. The mine entrance is about 200 metres from the shops.

We're off to the Undarra lava flows today for a couple of days then eventually heading towards Cooktown.

so fary we've met lots of interesting peole. I'm surprised that there is anyone over 55 left in the cities. We're all having a great time spending the kids inheritance. I'll need to get back on the libary roster after 6 October just to start saving for the next one.

Will send another message in a couple of days.
