Leaving pretty Miles you pass through the townships of Drillham and Dulacca, both established with the coming of the railway into the west. Dulacca rose to notoriety as the first site for the extensive push to eradicate the prickly pear. You'll then pass through Jackson, Yuleba and Wallumbilla where a stop at the Calico Cottage is a must. You won't miss it as it's under the huge shed. Delectable home baked goodies line the shelves just waiting to tempt you and your taste buds will be eternally grateful so give in to this temptation. Then, welcome to Roma, the capital of the Western Downs, the home of the 'Big Rig' and the gateway to cattle country. Every Tuesday and Thursday you can join in the excitement at the Roma Saleyards, which is the biggest cattle selling facility in the southern hemisphere. With special catwalks for visitors to see all the action, there's arguably nowhere else you can have such an experience. Visit the Romavilla Winery, which is the oldest winery in Queensland, head to the Mount Abundance Homestead for a history lesson and do the Hospital Hill Walk. Then, it's on to Mitchell, which is an easy 89 kilometres west.
