Mining is the backbone of Mount Isa and this series of images have been taken over the years we have lived and worked in Mount Isa. They are a tribute to the men and women in mining. For all those that have played a part, whether it be a miner working a mile underground or a sparky in the mines power station, each and every one has made a contribution to the town and community.
The world class ore deposits are every geologist’s dream to work with and offer a challenging and rewarding workplace. The town of Mount Isa has so much to offer to the workers and families who choose to live here. I’d love to hear from any of the old-timer’s that have lived and worked at Mount Isa Mines, that are willing to share their stories of the good-old-days and capture some of those memories for everyone to hear about. I’m sure there would be some classic stories to be told.
