Phone Home

A good old fashioned public pay phone. I can only just remember the last time I used one of these.

Hairpin Bend

A sharp, steep bend on the Telstra Hill road.

Random Perambulator

As I ambled up Telstra Hill I came across this pram randomly abandoned by the road. It made me wonder how it had come to be left here.

Sunset On Telstra Hill

The sun is low and the light is red on the red rocks and dust on top of Telstra Hill.

Communication Tower

A communication tower on Telstra Hill.

Old Sign

Now this is an old sign. I can barely remember the last time I heard anyone use the word Telecom. These days Australia's telco is called Telstra of course.

Telstra Hill

The view of Mount Isa from Telstra Hill. This is one of the highest hills within about 10 kilometres of the town centre. It has the local Telstra mobile phone communications tower. It is Mount Isa'a connection to the outside world.

Telstra Tower

I was lucky enough to go on a trip up a large hill just outside of town yesterday evening. This is one of the photos I took as I was leaving, I think it is the local Telstra communications tower, however, my phone indicated only 50% signal, I suspect that this close to the tower the signal is not optimal.
