This is one of the options we have for BBQ time in Mount Isa. Peacock Park as it is affectionately known, is at Lake Moondarra, nestled behind the spillway. So you don’t actually have a view of the lake, but the surroundings are quite lovely. It’s very shady and even though there are BBQs there, we always bring our own.

There is a half-decent playground there, but no swings unfortunately. And it’s always green which is a bonus in these here parts of Australia.

A nice place for a BBQ and catch up with friends. I’m sure it will be even nicer once it’s not so damn hot…
