ABOUT Mitchell
Mitchell is a welcoming outback town brimming with natural beauty and cultural heritage, just 87 kilometres west of Roma in Outback Queensland, via the Warrego Highway.
Many a sun-scorched traveller has found bliss floating in the thermal mineralised waters of the Great Artesian Spa. It’s relaxing for the body and therapeutic for the soul, and a precious natural resource that the locals proudly share.
You can explore magnificent sandstone formations and pristine native ecosystems and take in magnificent panoramic vistas at numerous sites throughout the area. Accessing the Mt Moffatt section of Carnarvon National Park is easy from Mitchell.
Mitchell’s community is keen to preserve the treasures and lessons from the past and have created a range of heritage and cultural displays covering its local Indigenous cultural heritage, early explorers and pioneers, bushranging past and social history.
