What makes you say that Dave? Could it be the way she is cleaning the .303 and making sure all the bullets have no fingerprints on them?

Actually, I think it has the longest main street in the world. They forgot to change the name of the street when it got to the edge of town, and it goes to the NT border... or vice versa.

Went to Mt Isa back in 1982 while on a holiday at nearby Kynuna,
seemed like a bloody hot town with a mine in the middle.

A mate lived out there for a while and brought home a shirt that said,
"Happiness is seeing Mt Isa in the rear view mirror".

As for the size of the place I can't help with that one.

mt isa is a town built around (actually, over) a mine. the population there relies on the mining and processing of silver, lead and zinc. just a typical normal mining town in the middle of no-where. not everyones prefered lifestyle.
it is the largest city in area, 43,000 square kms from cloncurry all the way to cammoolweel on the NT border.
