A fascinating place. Now just a memory. All good things must come to an end sometime. Was there in April 2019. A place now steadily being taken over by natural processes. A lonely place now yet also a serene place. For many of the residents, workers and their families this was the most pleasant and happiest time of their younger lives.
That country is raw and rugged i drove from Winton to Mt Isa few times, McKinley and Kynuna also Boulia. Remote and isolated, harsh land. Glad i've experienced it.
I remember the ant hills. I went to Mk few times as a child. Cloncurry or as locals call it the Curry, and lived in Mt Isa my dad worked at open cut mine.

Born there, 1958, left 1964. I do have good memories . Dad was security officer at mine gate 😊
Who in there right mind would dig out a uranium mine smackbang in middle of waterways and creeks and not expect long term environmental havoc.
Wow! What an amazing place, haven't seen it myself, but would like to one day, would've been amazing in its heyday!!
