16 August: Had an overnight stay at Camooweal which is close to the Northern Territory border, quite hot and dusty but the camp had a reasonable pool which was good to cool off in. Went out to the Camooweal Caves National Park and saw a couple of sink holes (the Great and Little Nowranie Caves) which date back to Cambrian Period (about 500 million years ago).

Next on to Mount Isa and to our Station Stay about 30kms out of town. Station has a large cattle herd, with regular musters by helicopter. Pretty hot with the temperature in the mid 30’s so didn’t do too much. Also Rube had an ear infection requiring trips to the doctor and antibiotics. Rube had another successful outback haircut. Went for a short walk to a lookout at the back of the homestead.
Landscape around Mt Isa a bit different as it was reasonably hilly with lots of spinifex.
