Roma to Mitchell

Longreach, Queensland

Into bushranger territory, the Warrego now takes you on your journey to Mitchell through the villages of Muckadilla and Amby. At the turn of the century the Kenniff brothers ruled the ranges around here. That was until they made history as the last Australian bushrangers trialled for murder right here by the side of the Warrego in the Mitchell courthouse. Seven kilometres south of Mitchell, a steel monument marks the site of their last bold but futile stand. Mitchell is where many say the outback begins. One of the most worthwhile attractions in Mitchell is the Great Artesian Spa, the largest open-air spa in Australia. Let the high mineral content of the water from the Great Artesian Basin relax and revitalise you. Many travel here for its therapeutic benefits.
