Description:
The iconic towers of the mining powerhouse and the mine itself, being the sole reason for the city’s existence is a mammoth iron lung breathing life into the surrounding town. Lost for any better superlatives, this behemoth of an industrial complex of steel, concrete and rock surrounded by craggy hills is owned and operated by Glencore. The complex is visible from most points of the surrounding town, if not from all and from the vast arid surrounds. Located 1862km (1157 miles / 20 hrs 40 mins) from Village Roadshow Studios. The nearest airport is Mount Isa Airport (ISA) approx- 2 hour 45 minute flight from Brisbane Airport (BNE). The closest POH, Brisbane City, is 1824km (1133 miles / 20 hrs 30 mins) away.
