Mount Isa

Mount Isa is a city in Queensland, Australia, known primarily for its rich mineral resources, particularly copper, zinc, lead, and silver. It serves as a major mining hub, contributing significantly to the local and national economy. The city, established in the early 20th century, is often referred to as the "Oasis of the Outback" due to its location in a remote area of the Australian outback. Mount Isa features a range of amenities and services, supporting the mining workforce and local community, and hosts the annual Mount Isa Rodeo, one of the largest rodeos in the southern hemisphere.
