Mount Isa Information
The progressive city of Mount Isa is nestled between the Selwyn Ranges and is home to one of the world’s most highly mechanised and cost efficient mines.
An interesting fact about Mount Isa is that it is the largest city in the world. It received accreditation in the Guinness Book of Records because it extends for 40,977 square kilometres and has the longest city road with a distance of 189 kilometres.
Within this huge city, you will find many activities and touristy things to do. The World Heritage listed Riversleigh Fossil area is an amazing site, and too is the stunning Lawn Hill Gorge.
Adventurous travellers should visit the Outback at Isa Centre, fossick for minerals and gems and watch a camel race, before taking a relaxing break at the picturesque Lake Moondarra and having a go at fishing for barramundi.
History buffs should stop by the Isa Experience Gallery, where you will discover the very essence of Mount Isa and its history.
Then take the Hard Times Mine Tour to learn more. And for those really wanting to go back in time, the Riversleigh Fossil Centre is a must visit. Explore the home of some of Australia’s prehistoric creatures in stunning rainforests and caves, and you will learn fascinating things about the creatures of Australia’s past.
A visit to the Kalkadoon Tribal Centre and Cultural Keeping Place is a definite must, as here you will view some amazing local Aboriginal artefacts.
For those more interested in the city centre, a number of hotels, motels, clubs, bistros and cafes are on offer. Check out the Mount Isa Civic Centre for a banquet of cultural entertainment, including shows of theatre, cabaret, and even rock concerts.
