I just returned from visiting one of my best friends in the world, Lou Lou, in Mt Isa. Our first point of call was the local country wear store where I bought my cool cowboy hat, I love it! I wore it the whole time and felt like an authentic cowgirl :-)
Mt Isa was great, what a terrific atmosphere of community in that town. It is very small but its size was more than made up for by the warmth and welcoming manner of the townspeople. Lou Lou seems to know every second person that she sees in the street so I met quite a few people and every single one of them were lovely. Mt Isa was about what I expected, quiet and down-to-earth with some very beautiful spots such as the lake and the Granite Rocks. We had a bonfire at the Granite Rocks on Saturday night and the stars were unbelievably beautiful, so clear and bright that I felt like I could reach out and touch one; breath taking. The other thing I really liked was Peacock Park, a family picnic area where stunning peacocks wander around freely all about the place. Fantastic.
All around I had a terrific weekend and it was so wonderful to catch up with one of my best friends in the world. At one point we were ruminating at how much she and I had both matured since we used to go out hard core partying and drinking; who would have ever thought we would both be content to sit by a picturesque lake eating lunch and sipping coffee rather than dancing on the tables in a club at 3.00 in the morning?
Ah..........growing up is an interesting thing.
Love
Kylie
