    Good place Isa. The mine gives plenty of well paid work and the town thrives. Truck broke down and was there 10 days with no wheels. Rented a car and drove out to the lake. Same bloke I did my mine tour with. Well worth it. Used to have a rippa brekky at the Tourist Centre. Legends with the boat. Well done with Jayda on the board. Slippin with that drone Chris.

    Hello again. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. When we were in Mt Isa in 1982-85 the mine tour was in the main mine and we went down to level 34. It was on a Saturday and a special tour for all the New teachers in town. The sunset of the stack from the lookout was legendary. They used to blast every afternoon at 3.30pm as school finished and the whole place used to shake.

    • @BigOzExplorers
      @BigOzExplorers  4 года назад +1

      Wow that’s really interesting! 34 levels down, that’s full on! I don’t think they’d allow that anymore as I’m pretty sure we were only 1 or 2 levels deep, crazy just how far into the ground they can go hey. Thanks for sharing your stories with us 🥰🤙🏻
