We are staying here  for 3 days as we have to do some shopping. 

Plus Pat has booked the van in to have 4 new Tyre.

So while I am in Mt Isa  I decided to have a hair cut.  So found a very good hair dresses.
Well this my result.

It is taking me some time to get used to the hair cut but still have some perm in it. 

The caravan park is not bad but have had better.

Anyway the day we leave on the 2nd May with caravan in tow at 8.40am to go get the new wheels on then meet up with Ronnie and Arnold to head out of town.

So when the man took the wheel of my side of van.   Pat could see we have a broken leaf spring.
  Pat ask were to go to get another spring leaf.
 After they had  finished putting all 4 wheels back on. 

By this time it is 10.15am so we rang Arnold to tell him the news, 

 Pat and I set of to find the place a place we were sent to  but it was a no go.
 So we just kept  driving around till we found a man that  has  his own furnace.
  He will  do the job and  make a copy of the old.  

  By now it is 12 am

So  while the spring was being done we went to the pub for lunch witch  was 

very good more than we could eat.

Then went to the look out over the town of Mt Isa.

 By 4. pm we went back to the van and all fixed very good.

But boy they certainly see the tourist coming and rub there hands together.
  At last we are on our way out of Mt Isa.
