Mount Isa Hotels - Reviews and Rates

On our way back to Mt Isa where Ron and Donna met about 5 years ago. Both where nursing at Mt Isa base hospital and where trying to have fun at the Irish pub where lots of nurses went in the weekend for a good time.
Now we only planned to go trough town on our way to Darwin . One week before we got to Mt Isa the agency called and told us ther...

Today we crossed the border and entered the "Beautiful one day, perfect the next" state.

We left Bali on Wednesday night - after having cooking lessons (i can now make Satay and the hotel chef who taught me is a celebrity chef in Bali), dancing on stage with the staff from the hotel in the regular afternoon staff dancing, being invited t...

Es sind noch 1700 km bis zum Ayers Rock (Uluru). Diese Distanz möchte ich in 2 Tagen schaffen. Also mache ich mich schon recht früh auf den Weg. Beim Zähne putzen mit meiner elektrischen Zahnbürste werde ich von einem alten australischen Rentner bestaunt. Der hat so was noch nie gesehen und fragt wo ich die her habe. Er will auch unbedingt eine....

Am Undara Volcanic Nationalpark angekommen, sind die Führungen natürlich schon vorbei. Doch hier gibt es einen schönen Campingplatz, der auch nicht viel kostet. Allerdings sind die Stellplätze schon alle belegt. Die nette Empfangsdame, die etwas von einem Animator hat, erlaubt mir, mich für 5 EUR auf einen Tagesplatz für Caravans zu stellen. Am ...

Feels good to be on the road again. Got a lift in to town in the morning, bus doesn't leave until 3 in afternoon, so I just relax in the 'park' until then. Takes about 4 hours to reach Mt. Isa. Head off to a backpacker hostel without booking, so I spend first night with a couple of french guys who had some trouble with their car. They were headi...

Our journey to the east began early along this very lonely road (heading east at least). We were only overtaken by 3 cars all day however there was some interesting traffic coming the other way. Apart from the Nomads, a house on the back of a truck which spanned across most of the road forcing Dianne (who was driving at the time) to partly pull ...

Put in a lot longer days drive across the tablelands, everything is still the same, Barkly Homestead is still there, Camooweal is still there,one thing was heaps better, there were no horrendous winds, but it was pretty hot. The road from Avon Downs into Camooweal is about as good as a goat track but is compensated for by the magnificent new roa...

Wednesday 13th June. My Birthday. Having reached the grand old age of 29, I felt it was best to not do anything too exciting, so I didn't. But it was not originally so, as i had planned to dive the SS Yongala, a ship wreck 30m below the sea just south of Townsville, a top 10 dive site in the world. Rough seas brought an end to that idea, however...

We set off from Townsville at 7am for the first part of our long journey to Darwin. The day actually went quite quickly mainly because we had some good films on the bus. It was interesting to watch the landscape change as we travelled along and we slowly began to see the desert. We also spotted some wild emu's and of course plenty of road kill (...
