July 30 - Mt Isa

We finally completed the mammoth trip from Tennant Creek to Mt Isa - there's just a whole lot of nothing (I was quite nervous about this part of the trip - there are no service stations for approx 200kms, twice)! See pic below to prove it. However I did see 2 snakes and 3 lizards and basically the horizon - sorry not much to report today - just to say that the kids were great - travelled from 8am - 4pm with 2 short stops - we did spelling and maths competitions and we purchased a boxed set of Modern Family so that keeps them entertained in between the school work and an hour or two of sing-a-longs. Tomorrow we have another long day in the car (probably an hour less than today) - we will spend the night at Hughenden - then Monday we will arrive in Townsville.

The view all day today from the car - just nothing not even a tree to see!
