A lovely outback change was a weekend away in the Isa. There was lots of dust, lovely hot dry temperatures [much more comfortable than the humidity of the coast] & a touch of glamour of the Casa Grande Ball.
The ball is held at Casa Grande, a Spanish Mission style building, built in 1949 for the MIM mine manager.
Queen Elizabeth stayed at Casa Grande in a redecorated and refurnished suite
when she visited the town in 1970.

The Fountain Springs is my favorite of these pictures ... I would LOVE to go and enjoy that beauty! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi KP,
ReplyDeleteThis post is missing a photo of you dressed up for the ball???? :) A gorgeous setting on the tennis courts.
I have only driven through Mt Isa on the way to Alice Springs or Darwin. It looks very similar to the Alice. Fountain Springs looks so inviting.

What an interesting building, know what you mean about handling the inland temps, much easier without the sweat.Lovely pics.

ReplyDeleteWell what a change - they are wonderful photos and thank you for showing me.
I have stayed in Mt Isa many many years ago - but that is a cup of coffee chat :)
have a wonderful day
