After decades of pleas, fallen miners from a historic mine will be memorialised (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The North West Queensland town of Mount Isa will soon have a memorial put up to honour miners who have died at its flagship mine. The state government, Glencore, and Mount Isa City Council are funding the $4.7 million landmark. The memorial is set to be built by the end of 2027. After almost 30 years of advocacy, a multimillion dollar memorial honouring 151 fallen workers who died at a historic mine will be built in outback Queensland. The $4.7 million Mount Isa Miners Memorial will be jointly f
First homebuyers enter market in outback city where median house price is $312K (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The north-west Queensland city of Mount Isa has one of the youngest median ages in Australia, at just 31 years old.

From grazing to abattoirs and the quintessential butchery, the industry is the fabric of the west. But
