Day 8

THARGOMINDAH TO CUNNAMULLA

This morning, a local guide will board your coach at the Thargomindah Visitor Information Centre for a town tour with great local stories and insights. Relive moments of yesteryear at the Old Jail and Old Thargomindah Hospital courtesy of life-size holographics and interactive experiences. Head east along the Adventure Way to Eulo often described as the ‘Montville of the Outback.’ Relax with a hearty pub lunch in the famous Eulo Queen Hotel before sampling the town shop. See opals and art at the Telegraph House Gallery, pick up handcrafted leather goods or purchase some locally made honey.  While in town you can visit the Artesian Mud Springs; built up over centuries these mud springs were the original release valves for the Great Artesian Basin. Take a selfie with Kenny the life-size Diprotodon (giant Megafauna) found in the Eulo Area.  Travel around 45 minutes on to Cunnamulla and the Cunnamulla Fella Visitor Information Centre. Join a self-guided tour of the Artesian Time Tunnel, meet ‘Doug the Rigger’, view engaging audio visual displays and find out how the Great Artesian Basin was formed.  While in the centre spend some time wandering the history museum and art gallery.  Late afternoon follow the short River Walk to a viewing area over the river where you can see local birdlife and grazing kangaroos. Be sure to time your arrival at the viewing platform to watch the sunset.  A perfect spot for sunset nibbles!
