This is clearly self explanatory. The Matron's room at the old hospital.

Underground

IMGP2134

This is a section of the underground hospital that was not restored. It was partially knocked in and blocked when the current above ground base hospital went in. Needless to say, you are not allowed into this section.

Hospital Museum

IMGP2130

Another place worth a visit in Mount Isa is the Underground Hospital Museum. This hospital had an underground section dug into the hill behind it during the war in 1942 in case of an air attack. It was never needed for its purpose and has since been turned into a museum. It is the only hospital of its kind in Australia.
