The roads into and out of Mount Isa are generally of good quality and passable for all vehicles. Care should be taken if travelling during the wet season as many of these roads can become flooded and impassable. Never try to cross covered causeways even if no signage or barricades are erected at the site. Purpose built signs are placed along the Barkly Highway to Townsville to indicate what roads are passable during flood times. Alternatively, asking local residents of feasible road conditions can give surprising accuracy.

  • Flights can be booked with Airnorth, Qantas-Australia, Rex and Skytrans to various locations around the Queensland and Northern Territory (depending on carrier)
