Spot on, cruncharola. The desert does strange things to people.
This is the same Mount Isa that's been on the BBC News site for another reason recently: some politician made some amusing comments about how ugly ladies should go there because they're very likely to find a man, because of the high male/female ratio.
I reckon the Mount Isa Publicity Team is hard at work!
"A tourist has returned a boomerang to the Australian museum from which he stole it 25 years ago, proving that the artefacts really do come back. The boomerang had been on display in the Queensland outback town of Mount Isa before disappearing in 1983. It was posted to the Frank Aston Underground Museum, which has now closed, from an address in the USA."
