What state is Mount Isa in?

In the dry and distant outback of Queensland, the town of Mount Isa was founded in the 1920s when a lonely prospector came across one of the largest metal deposits in the world.

Within a few years, Mount Isa would be a full-fledged city connected to the coast by rail.

Mount Isa Mines has brought record amounts of zinc, silver and copper to the surface.

Above ground, this industry is limited to Mineside on the west bank of the Leichhardt River, while most of the amenities and the arena for the largest rodeo in the Southern hemisphere are located in Townside on the east bank.

Mount Isa is the closest town to Boodjamulla National Park, treasured for its red sandstone gorges and immense fossil fields that record the evolution of Australian mammals over millions of years.
