On Saturday afternoon (16th/7/11) we visited Lake Moondarra, the local water supply and recreation area. The lake is stocked with barramundi. I'm told that it also has a population of fresh water crocodiles.
On Sunday (17th/7/11) we investigated the disused Mary Kathleen uranium mine site. The pit is filled with cobalt blue water. All that remains on the site where the township used to be are paved roads, footpaths and curb and guttering in the middle of the bush, but no houses.
On Monday (18th/7/121) we went along a 4WD track to view the "Poison Hole" in the old Robin copper mine. The minerals have turned the water in this pit to green.
