Today we are going to see Lake Moondarra, the Mount Isa Underground Hospital, and heading up to the Mount Isa Lookout on Day 9 of our Outback Queensland Road Trip.

It was a catch up day for us today while on our travels.

This means for us a few loads of washing at the caravan park over the day, as well as some sightseeing around Mount Isa as well.

Also, we need groceries, so our first stop was Woolworths.

It was refreshing getting back into a bigger supermarket, price wise and also range wise after being on the road for a while.

We stocked up for the next part of our travelling and headed back to the Jayco for morning tea, and also to do another few loads of washing!

This is the second part of Day 8 for my family and I, it was time to leave the Walkabout Creek Hotel and drive the rest of the way to Mount Isa Caravan Park in Mount Isa.

After leaving the Walkabout Creek Hotel in McKinlay we had to stop for lunch still as we hadn’t eaten.

The next best town to stop at for us was Cloncurry.

There is a Puma Roadhouse on the right hand side of the road as you come into town.

They have pretty good food and not too bad prices on petrol too if you need it.

So we had what was becoming the standard, egg and lettuce sandwiches and chips.

Stopping off in Cloncurry meant we only had an hour left to drive before we got to Mount Isa Caravan Park.
