Inside the Beth Anderson Museum, Mount Isa - NW Queensland
The Beth Anderson Museum is full of wonderful memorabilia from the 1930's through to (almost) the current day.
You will find an extensive range of antique (or at least quite old) medical equipment, including a hand written First Aid Manual, large posters of the human anatomy and real skeleton that was used for educational purposes.
As well as medical paraphernalia, there is some interesting World War II items, and some geological exhibits. It is important to note, that many of the items within the museum were donated by families still residing in Mount Isa.
The Tent House, Museum and Underground Hospital are open during the cooler months of the year (April to September) and run by a dedicated team of Volunteers, it really is worth a visit, whether you are a traveller to town or local.
