Charters Towers to Mount Isa road trip: Distance, time & stops
Mount Isa road trip: The last leg
The Flinders Highway morphs into the Barkly Highway in Cloncurry. And the Cloncurry to Mount Isa drive heads down the Barkly. On the way, you’ll pass the sombre Burke and Wills Memorial, the Corella Dam swimming spot and the spooky abandoned ghost town of Mary Kathleen.
Things to do in Mount Isa include the engaging Riversleigh Fossil Centre, underground tours of the Hard Times Mine and the kid favourite Mount Isa Family Fun Park.
Mount Isa activity options include a two hour best-of Mount Isa tour, outback scenic flights, a sunset drinks tour to Lake Moondarra and an intriguing visit to the abandoned Mary Kathleen uranium mine.
Mount Isa accommodation picks include the perky four star Copper City Motel, the handily-located Icon on Isa and the child-friendly Discovery Parks Argylla.
