Day 2: Today is a day of explorer and bushranger stories as you drive the short distance to Mitchell. The town is named after Sir Thomas Mitchell, explorer and Surveyor General of New South Wales, who explored the area in 1846. See the original courthouse where local bushrangers, the Kenniff Brothers were committed to stand trial then head to Arrest Creek, where they were captured. Cool off with a refreshing swim in the natural artesian water at Mitchell’s Aquatic Centre. Travel just under 2 hours to Morven and visit the home of the Ooline trees and their black orchids located within the Tregole National Park only 10km south of Morven. Stay in town and experience the wonder of the handcrafted miniature building display that took over fifteen years to complete and is displayed at the Morven Museum. Step back in time and see the Kerosene hut from the 1930’s great depression and other displays of a bygone era.
