Mount Isa 29-8-12

Looked around the town this morning.  Michael went to  Toyota with the destroyed locking nut, but they were not at all helpful, didn’t have one. had to  wait for the warranty manager didn’t know where the wreckers yard was blah, blah.  Michael walked out and decided to  go  to Autobarn or similar and buy some locking nuts.  He needs to protect his new baby.

After that we went shopping, some food items are cheaper here than in Melbourne, surprising.

Moved into our cabin at 1:00 and Michael started on the car.

Michael and Tony cleaned out the car fridges in the afternoon and put our food away.  We have had to provision for 7 days.  Tony and Jen had their afternoon snooze and Michael and I went to look around again.  Michael was successful in getting locking nuts.  The mines here are huge, the town is strange, it is very spread out, no  real shopping strips, it’s very hard for new comers to find anything except Coles, Kmart and Woolworths.

We are going out to tea again this evening, I am enjoying being lazy.

Probably get an early start in the morning, we are off to Adel’s Grove.  At the moment we are ahead of schedule due to  flooded Simpson Desert.DSC00311DSC00313
