No its not outside its the outside of a building housing a bar in "The Irish Club" Mt Isa. The club is very large and quite flash and very different and up market to our meagre expectations.
A tram car inside "The Irish Club" serves as a second dining area for lower priced meals. The tram was a gift from the late Steve Irwin.
Out on the farm where Dan & Sandra Timms are farm sitting and we are staying Christine gives a hand to feed some of the cattle.
Ian & Dan have a "coldie" after taking care of the animals. Next was a barbi which went down a treat.

Another one of the many exhibits at the Waltzing Matilda museum
Ian inside the "Walkabout Hotel" as featured in the Crocodile Dundee movies. And I bet you all thought the same as me that it was Darwin where it all happened ?
The outside of the "Walkabout Hotel"
Our good friend Dan Timms performs at the Irish Club in Mt Isa 3 nights a week. He is very talented and very popular with the audience. He even gets people make an annual visit to hear him sing.

A wonderful old bi plane at the QANTAS museum at Longreach a place well worth visiting.
Christine couldn't resist trying her hand on the old wagon in the QANTAS museum
A superb bronze statue of a stockman at "The Stockmans Hall of Fame" Longreach.
Inside the Waltzing Matilda centre at Winton. A super story being told of the Waltzing Matilda tale. The exhibition / museum has so much memorabilia that it takes hours to get round and see it all.

If you saw the movie "The Dish" then this is the real thing at Parkes. A well worth while place to visit with soo much information and it is Free to get in 'WOW'
If you ever have trouble getting 'light years' right then here is the simple answer. And a little trivia question for you, where do I weigh less Earth, the Moon or on Mars? I look forward to your answers.

Another sculptor at the dessert park
One of Pro Harts Rolls Royce that he painted all over with Australian historic scenes. A superb piece of craft.
