The Isa Experience, offered by partner MICCOE in the Great Barrier Reef & Whitsundays region of Queensland, is a must-do for nature enthusiasts seeking an in-depth look into the rich history and biodiversity of Mount Isa. This self-guided tour takes visitors on a journey through interactive and vibrant displays, showcasing the town''s evolution from its humble beginnings to the thriving community it is today.
As visitors wander through the exhibit, they will gain a deeper understanding of how Mount Isa''s rich mineral bounty and mining heritage have shaped the town and its multi-cultural society. A highlight of the display is the dual plasma depiction of the blending of indigenous and white perspectives, culminating in a powerful convergence of the didgeridoo and the modern lead stack that dominates the city skyline.
The Isa Experience also features the stunning Allan''s Outback Gems, a comprehensive rock collection donated by the ''Rock Man'' of Mount Isa, Ian Leslie Allen. This inspiring collection serves as a testament to Allen''s passion and provides visitors with a unique opportunity to explore the geological wonders of the region.
After exploring the indoor exhibits, visitors can step outside into the Outback Park, a creative landscape that captures the natural beauty of the surrounding area. With a central lagoon, lush native plantings, and a relaxing waterfall, the park offers a peaceful retreat for visitors to unwind and connect with nature.
The Rodeo Hall of Fame, opened in 2018, is another must-see attraction at the Isa Experience. This display provides a fascinating insight into the history of the Mount Isa Mines Rodeo, the biggest rodeo in the southern hemisphere. Visitors can learn about the most famous cowboys and cowgirls, the most prestigious bucking horses and bulls, and the people who have made the rodeo into what it is today.
The Isa Experience offers visitors the opportunity to explore the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Mount Isa at their own pace. With a range of guided nature tours, wildlife tours, eco tours, and outdoor tours, there is something for everyone to enjoy. We Wander is proud to partner with MICCOE to offer this unique and inspiring nature exploration experience to our community of outdoor enthusiasts. Please note that booking in advance is required to ensure capacity limits are adhered to, and all visitors are encouraged to check in with valid ID.
