'MOUNT ISA'

Between Three Ways and the eastcoast nothing really special happened. Yes I finished my book about Robert the Bruce at last. Think it took me about 4 months! So it was a very emotional moment...

After another few hours we drove into the State of Queensland. It was already dark now. The roads were getting worse. At some points there was only one road to share for both ways. That's were I met another roadtrain, which just passed us. Just...

It was still dark as we drove into Mount Isa. The biggest city on this Barkly Highway. You just do not want to live there. I think it is even more deserted than Three Ways or Alice Springs.

This is were we got caught by the cops as well... Had to pull over and show me my license. Told a bullshit story, had to show our passports and had to to a 'alcoholtest' as well. Happily we got away with it.
Though the next day as Joost was driving the policemen was not so relaxt. 'This is not Holland!' he said. He should know, in Holland we would have been really fucked I think...

It has nothing to do with those cops, but I won't recommend this place...
