There’s something undeniably magical about an outback sunset. As the sun dips below the horizon, the sky transforms into a breathtaking canvas of oranges, pinks, purples, and yellows. The remoteness of the outback brings an overwhelming sense of peace and calmness. Here are the best spots in Mount Isa to experience this beauty.

For a panoramic perspective, pack a picnic or a bottle of bubbles and head to the Mount Isa City Lookout. If you want to escape the crowd but stay close, park up on the shore of Lake Moondarra, where the light bounces off the water. For something truly spectacular, climb to John Waugh Park Lookout for a 20-minute hike and enjoy a panoramic view of the sun setting behind the city, mines, and surrounding hills.
