Went to the underground hospital this morning, this was made during the war for somewhere to evacuate the patients, it was never needed & was only used by night nurses seeking cool & darkness to sleep. It was very interesting as it is still set up like it was originally. After this we went on an underground mine tour for 3 hrs, it was very interesting. leaving Mount Isa we drove into Mary Kathleen, you can still see the streets & concrete pads where the shopping area was but that is all.We have driven past lots of fires that have been started by lightening, we camped at Fountain Springs RA.
