As the Camooweal Billabong was only 2km from Camooweal, we decided to have breakfast at the roadhouse. Once again, very big servings of food and a decent coffee.

Not far along the road, we turned towards the Camooweal Caves National Park, so that we could check out the Nowranie Water and Caves. It was about a 25km drive along good hard packed dirt roads, with plenty of cattle along the way. Not really sure what makes this area a National Park, as it is quite unremarkable.

The waterhole was quite big with lots of trees around for shade, and the caves were just a few kilometers further along the road. You can't enter wither the Little Nowranie Cave or the Great Nowranie Cave, but you can walk up to the entrance to both of them, which are giant sinkholes in the ground. The Giant Nowranie Cave is known to be at least 100 metres deep and the water in the caves feed into the Lake Eyre Basin.

Once we were approaching Mt Isa, you could see you were coming to a mining town. There was quite a thick smog haze many kilometers before the town. We stopped to do a bit of shopping and then headed to our caravan park, on the ouskirts of town.

Our assigned campsite was occupied by someone else, so they put us down the back in Swag City. Quite a nice spot actually, with beautiful lush grass to camp on. We haven't had that since we started thius trip around 6 weeks ago.

Tomorrow will be a rest day.
