Plane Old

A plain old plane that will fly no more. This was at the Daly Waters highway inn, Northern Territory.

Monster Isa

Mount Isa monster trucks are on the way to entertain the masses. 

Rocky

An unusual rock on the ground. I was hoping it may have been a meteorite because it had a smooth fusion like crust, was unusually dense and was significantly magnetic. It turned out to be a rather ordinary haematite.

Cemetery

The old cemetery in Selwyn holds many more stories of lives once lived.

1912

The remains of a brick stack at the abandoned town of Selwyn. Built in 1912, this stack has not been lucky enough to survive to 2014.

Brick Stack

A brick stack at a nearby town called Selwyn. This is also an old abandoned town with nothing but ruins left behind.

At Rest

In the Kuridala cemetery there are many graves, both marked and unmarked. There is a visitor's book with stories of the causes of death. In a mining town in the 1900's there were of course many gruesome deaths.

Selfie

A group of tourists visit an old mining town and take the obligatory selfie.

Stack 1913

This elaborate stack at Kuridala was built in 1913 as it proudly states. And 101 years later it still stands.

Heritage

Only in the outback could you get heritage listing for a degraded mining waste site and a hole in the ground. I guess it means they don't have to clean anything up. A bit sad really.

Machinery

The machinery of mining. This is left over at the old town of Kuridala south of Cloncurry.

Dry As A Desert Creek

A very dry creek bed indeed.

Pinnacle

A pinnacle of rock with a few climbs on it. This is less climbed than Razorback, but perhaps a little taller and harder to protect.

Something Floral

Floral displays are brief in the desert climes around Mount Isa. These pussytail flowers are some of the longer lived flowers.
