We stopped at the Burke & Wills Monument (as you do) before going into the ghost town of Mary Kathleen. How sad, that what would have been a close community, just torn apart when the mine was disbanded . All the buildings were auctioned off in April 1984. You can see where the main shopping centre was and the streets are all bitumen with curbing. Reminded me of Maytown Lin.
Now we are in Mt. Isa for our next bit of adventure.
Self explanatory

Yes we checked out Mary Kathleen when we came through - quite sad really.
