the Isa


The term used for Mt Isa: He's working in The Isa.

Contributor's comments: Being born and breed in the Isa, I maintain a descriptive use of this term when asked 'where do you come from?' Due to the geographical isolation and associated industry, it engenders a separate culture from the rest of Queensland yet remaining inclusive of any outsider willing to put up with the conditions.
