We set off happily from Cloncurry knowing we only had a short trip to Mount Isa. The country is much more interesting and was the home of the Kalkadoon people - a warrior tribe. (there is a doco about them on the ABC on Monday.) We were only happy for a short time. Going around a bend on a newly made stretch of road a car coming in the opposite direction sent up a spray of stones that have put 2 stars and some chips on the windscreen. I won't repeat what Jeff said but he had to have a nicobate gum straight away.
When we got to Mount Isa we searched for a windscreen repair place but, of the 3, one didn't do repairs, one was waiting for a new delivey of resin and the third wouldn't answer their phone. So we are stuck in the exciting city of Mount Isa until Monday. We decided to stay in a caravan park instead of free camping because the free camps were too far away. The caravan park we chose is a bit of a worry - permanent residents from the mines with big dirt bikes and loud music.
