July 30 Camooweal (via Mt Isa)

After hearing some bad stories about the crime in Mt Isa we decided not to stay there. Instead, we stopped to have a bit of a look around (Mt Isa was dominated by the mine) before heading on to Camooweal which is only 12k’s from the border with NT.

I never imagined that we would be camping out at a roadhouse, but here we are! One of the highlights was speaking to a long distance truck driver about his life and the challenges he faces in his job driving a road train. We are meeting some interesting people along the way.
