A chilly start! No rest today but celebrated with a yummy strawberries and yogurt breakfast.
Spent the morning mending punctures and planning food and water needs for the difficult week to come.

Mended a collapsing back pack and dressed Del's skinned leg - an unplanned collision with his bike axle.
Walked into town (still in hoodies) for stores and lunch.

Mt Isa is a sizeable city of over 22,000 people in 2016. It's a typical outback city, with untamed gardens and verges.
Dominated by the Mt Isa Mine, local motels seem to house many of its shift workers.
The shallow Leichhardt River flows in front of the mine.
Definitely more indigenous folk than we've seen previously, in schools and shopping areas.
Currently trying to squeeze the extra food and water into our trailers! Wish us luck!
