Constructed during WW2 as a defence against air raids, the underground hospital is a remarkable site illustrating the ingenuity, foresight, and determination of the people of Mount Isa while facing challenges. Today, the hospital stands as a powerful reminder of a bygone era. Come on a tour in the cool, subterranean tunnels that once provided a safe haven for medical care and patient recovery. Explore the original wards, operating theatres, and patient rooms, and imagine the lives of those who relied on this facility. Learn about the challenges faced by medical staff and the patients who were treated within these underground walls.

Beyond the hospital, the site also features the Tent House, a historic relic of the early mining days. This unique structure offers a glimpse into the living conditions of miners and their families during the region's boom period.
