Eggbert's Travels

Wednesday 20^th September 2017

SHE SAID:

There isn't a hell of a lot of things to do around here, but I managed to find them all!

The Artesian Mud Springs were all dried up, the Parroo River was muddy pools, the Yowah Opal fields were devoid of boulder opals (well we didn't find any...mind you we had no idea what to look for!).

Our return trip took us on a couple of dirt roads, the first of which was through a gate...not looking good for the main road, but we did find the road we wanted. After driving through several digging areas, & around mullock heaps, a wider dirt road with warning signs on it appeared.

I dragged Geoff along for an artesian mud bath, the main attraction of Eulo! We had the “Sunset Suite” with huge deep baths, views over a little billabong, & a raging log fire. Nibbles & drinks were inclusive in the package.....

It was VERY different & fun!

Another muddy "river", this time it is the Parroo

The Artesian Mud Springs...minus the mud; it is all dried up

Dried Springs & mounds only

Mullock mounds & dirt piles....not an opal seen

A casual road wanderer....we also saw goats & emus

A rapidly drying out billabong

One of the houses for sale in Yowah...offers anyone?



Artesian Mud Baths, also a depositary for all manner of "Stuff & Things"

Option one in the Mud Spa rooms...

Option two, a double bath...

Option four has 4 baths & the view of the billabong & sunset

Adding the mud to your bath...

Mud Baths with a view

Bathing for 4 but 2 was all this night!

HE SAID:

Our poke around the Eulo area was completed by lunch. Emus, kangaroos, pigs, cattle, and goats, all on or near the roads, kept me looking out as we drove around.

I don't recall intentionally having a mud bath before. Plenty of incidental and accidental ones, but not fully intentional; especially paying for the privilege.  Interesting.
