i think lisa's quest is a long way from a leisure venture though unfortunately...

What makes you say that Dave? Could it be the way she is cleaning the .303 and making sure all the bullets have no fingerprints on them?

Hehehe you guys know me too well :evil3:

i was at phosphate hill (the monument) for about 3 years which is a stone's throw to isa.

So how big is this place ????????

hhhmmmmmm...got an idea where you are headed with this MN, but please be careful.

Mt Isa is actually the biggest city in area in the world.

The sole purpose of this exercise is to find out where it is & how big .... just in case I have to go find my kids should this bloke carry out his threats ......

i hope it doesnt come to that. good luck.

Ive passed thru on the way between Darwin and Rockhampton for an exercise and it looked like a bit of a hole to me. Dodgy lookin place!

dont mean to be rude but could you expand on that for us laymen :D

Have to agree BlueAU. I haven't been there for 20 years but have rellies that way, and been told it hasn't changed much :saywhat:

Actually, I think it has the longest main street in the world. They forgot to change the name of the street when it got to the edge of town, and it goes to the NT border... or vice versa.

Went to Mt Isa back in 1982 while on a holiday at nearby Kynuna,
seemed like a bloody hot town with a mine in the middle.

A mate lived out there for a while and brought home a shirt that said,
"Happiness is seeing Mt Isa in the rear view mirror".

As for the size of the place I can't help with that one.

Ed :)

mt isa is a town built around (actually, over) a mine. the population there relies on the mining and processing of silver, lead and zinc. just a typical normal mining town in the middle of no-where. not everyones prefered lifestyle.
it is the largest city in area, 43,000 square kms from cloncurry all the way to cammoolweel on the NT border.

Thanks for that guys
