Mitchell to Morven

Longreach, Queensland

Mungallala is the only town you pass through on your trip west from Mitchell to Morven. Just before Mungallala is a protected area where you can walk amongst the rare Ooline (Cadelia Pentastylis), a remnant pocket of rain forest trees dating back 1.6 million years. There's a picnic table and toilet available for your morning cuppa. Mungallala, population around 130, originated as a railway town. Stop at the pub by the side of the road and you're likely to meet a local for a yarn. Fuel, food, and accommodation are available at Mungallala. Morven, which the locals say is small in size but big in character, is an easy 44 kilometres from Mungallala. Established as a camping site for bullock teams and originally called Sadlier's Waterhole, the collection of immaculate miniature buildings creatively whittled by the late Bob Johnson representing early Morven and district is most worthy of inspection at the Morven Historical Museum. If time permits, visit Tregole National Park, 10 kilometres south of Morven, which is a 7500 hectare park where the brigalow meets the mulga. Once you say goodbye to Morven, it's the last leg on the mighty Warrego Highway and only another 89 kilometres to Charleville.
