Day 20 - Cloncurry to Mt Isa

Fine day but hot and humid.  A carefree 120km drive across excellent roads had us in Mount Isa.  We passed through a pretty spectacular countryside with a kaleidoscope of "traditional" outback colours, browns, ochres, yellows and whites spread across rocky outcrops, weathered valleys and rolling hills.  Highlighted against this background were the green trees and their grey trunks and branches.  The picture was completed with an azure blue sky and an occasional fluffy white to grey cloud.  We descended from a high spot on the road into Mount Isa.  That was a sight to see.  More of Mount Isa in the next couple of days.
