#Mount Isa

season 3, episode 5: alright, I’m going to keep harping on about Australia, because why not? 🇦🇺 THIS IS MOUNT ISA 🏜️ If you’re NOT from Australia, you’ve probably never even heard of this place and that’s OK, it’s not your typical Sydney Opera House or the Great Barrier Reef… but if you are an Aussie, you probably think of Mt Isa as “the middle of nowhere” or ”just a mining town” and you’re right, it is in the middle of nowhere and it is a mining town BUT, it is so much more than that!! 🏭 there’s something beautiful about the outback of Australia 💫 something that you can’t really get anywhere else in the world, considering the culture and history of these lands 🌵 There’s nothing more beautiful than seeing a cloudless sky and the sun setting over a vast stretch of red land with nothing but the sound of small insects chirping in the distance 🐞🌅 It is a moment you take in, RELAX and think what a beautiful world we live in 🧘🏽‍♀️🌏 📍The Granites #mtisa #mountisa #australia #outback #australianoutback

You Don’t Get to Sack a Town 👉 Then Say No One Wants to Work. Mount Isa has become one of the lowest-paid mining regions in remote Australia and that didn’t happen by accident. Glencore shut a mine sitting on 150 million tonnes at 1.7% copper. 1,200 jobs gone and families left town. Now more than a year later, instead of lifting wages to attract locals back, they’re recruiting permanent workers from overseas and claiming no one wants to work here. People didn’t refuse the jobs, the jobs disappeared. You can’t remove the workforce, depress wages, and then import labour to solve the shortage you created. After taxpayer support and $600 million into the smelter, the least this community deserves is locals getting first shot at decent-paying jobs. Mount Isa deserves better.

After months of preparation, 32-year-old Travis McElligott ran 303kms from Mount Isa to Gregory over the Labour Day weekend. Along with a team of passionate locals, he raised more than $25,000 for men's mental health. Mr McElligott backed up his three-day run with the legendary Gregory River Canoe Marathon the next day. "I didn't think it was going to be that hard, but the end of day two was probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life," he says. Mr McElligott says it will be worth it if his efforts save lives.
