I can’t believe it this is the third caravan park under the towns' flight path, first Marree, then Longreach and now Mount Isa, no need for alarm clock when you can have a plane roaring overhead.
Seems our decision to have a longish stay in Mount Isa was not the best decision, there is not much to see here. The tourist info centre visited yesterday was much less informative than those in the smaller towns already visited in Queensland.
We have had an offer for replacement of my bike as the sourcing of parts and shipping them is just too problematic, I am very thankful that there are honourable business people like George. After a bit more comparison and searching on the net I decided to purchase a bike here in Mt Isa, truth be told I am dying to have a ride, in several previous towns I have suggested to Simon we go for a ride... brain not fully in gear!
A few chores attended at camp then into town. Simon has talked about an old school mate who moved to Qld years ago so he took the opportunity to visit the electoral office. We were greeted with “which town?” Apparently there is quite a rush of travellers wanting to cast their vote, which we already attended in Winton. The AEC computer in the foyer found Simons’ mate David with one search, hopefully Simon will make contact.
The new bike is a Giant brand in a nice pastel blue, tomorrow we ride! . The rest of the afternoon was spent removing bits off the “old” bike which can be salvaged for the new one. I filed the rough bits off the carrier rack and Simon has applied some plasti-bond and will smooth and paint it tomorrow.
Had nibbles and a very small glass of red wine, Simon has very aptly posted on facebook beer 0 red wine 0 white wine 0 port 0, actually we have had an alcohol free day this week! How easily we have slipped into the 5 o’clock wine and nibbles, and to think only a few months ago I wasn’t even contemplating home time at 5 o’clock!
Cheers Susan
Ohhh and I have finally uploaded my commentary from word as postscripts for the days that I had something to say...I know that is most of the time
