Day Six - Mitchell

Got some good speed up on the Warrego Hwy until we hit the bumps. Undulations that had the rig going up and down rather quickly and uncomfortably. The Caravan Park on the eastern edge of town, right before the upgrading bridge across the Maranoa River, was perfect. Ensuite facilties for each powered caravan spot.

The town was great. Saw the weir. Learned a fair bit about the Loughan family history from the cemetery. Great Steam Train exhibit in the park. And a great historical courtroom that gives all the trial records including depositions on a cattle rustling trial in the early 1900's that remains controversial, and says a lot about the area's early history.

 

But the Artesian Spa, with clear water coming out at a delicious 39 degrees, was soooo relaxing I went to bed like jelly.
