Qld-Mitchell

Caltex Bridge Service Station and Caravan Park

Mitchell is about 84 klms west of Roma on the Warrego Hwy. The road is terrible with dips all along it. It does not make for a relaxing trip. With the undulations and the huge road trains, we were certainly kept alert. Many times we were wondering if the underneath of the caravan was going to hit the road.
We stayed at the petrol station across from the artesian spa for $10.00 per night which included power, water, laundry, toilet and shower. The parking lot only fits about six caravans.
There is a caravan park in town called the Major Mitchell caravan park and you can also free camp at the Neil Turner weir, just out of town. This is a lovely spot, and does have some water.
The water is town is all artesian and does have an odour and odd taste. If you drink it, either use your water filter or let it sit in the fridge for a few hours before you use it.

The town has lovely wide, tree lined streets and the people are so friendly. We really enjoyed our two day stay here.
