Hughenden, situated on the Flinders Highway and the Flinders River, is the hub of the mid north-west of Queensland. It is predominantly a grazing area, with cattle properties to the north and sheep grazing to the south. The town has many attractions, with four national parks, gem fields, mountainous volcanic basalt country, sweeping black soil plains and rich fossil dinosaur areas. The most famous of these areas, Porcupine Gorge, has been carved out of a basalt lava-flow by Porcupine Creek, giving beautiful soft colours to the walls towering 150 metres over the water. The Gorge offers camping, bird watching and swimming, and a diverse range of flora and fauna live amongst the brilliantly coloured sandstone rocks. Kooroorinya Falls Nature Reserve is another great spot for fishing, camping, bushwalking and swimming. The Flinders Discovery Centre on Gray Street is also the Visitor Information Centre. It has an excellent exhibition of dinosaur fossils from around the world as well as fossils from the local area. ‘Mutt’, a life size, full-bodied Muttaburrasaurus model, is situated in the middle of town on the two main incoming roads to Hughenden.Visitors to Hughenden can find short-term parking at Hughenden RV Parking Area on Stansfield Street.

Euston is a quiet, scenic little river town located in the southwestern region of New South Wales. The town itself has a population of fewer than 1,000 residents, and lies just six kilometres downstream of Robinvale, Victoria. Euston is located approximately 500 kilometres northwest of Melbourne, 500 kilometres east of Adelaide and 1,000 kilometres west of Sydney. Euston is a centralised village featuring wide streets with easy parking for recreational vehicles. Euston’s close proximity to Robinvale (six kilometres) provides traveller’s access to a wider range of facilities and specialty stores.The town of Euston grew from the site of Boomiarcool Station, established by Edmund Morey in 1846. Named after Euston Mansion in Suffolk, England, the riverside town flourished as a trading port in the 1800s with barges transporting locally produced wheat and wool. The only remaining building from the prosperous time of Euston’s past is the recently restored courthouse, which stands proudly in the main street of Euston. Built in 1850, the courthouse provides an insight into the history of the area and now also serves as a museum.Agricultural and livestock farming remain an important element of the Euston economy, with vineyards now comprising a great deal of the surrounding farming land.Tourism has also proved a lucrative industry for Euston, with the town famed for its excellent fishing spots and riverside camping areas.For RV travellers, Euston is a welcoming oasis with free parking throughout town, and two Visitor Information Centres located nearby. Lake Benanee is a popular freedom camping spot located just 13 kilometres east of Euston along the Sturt Highway. It has barbeques and toilets and is an attractive place to stop a while by the Lake. Because Euston is skirted by the Sturt Highway, the town seems to be secluded, adding to the attraction of this scenic little haven.Tourist/Visitor Information Centre    Balranald VIC, Market St, Balranald NSWPh: 0350 201 599Email: infocentrestaff@balranald.nsw.gov.au www.balranald.nsw.gov.au Robinvale Euston VIC, Bromley Rd, Robinvale VICPh: 03 5026 1388www.murrayriver.com.au/robinvale/Casual Parking    Murray Terrace, EustonShort Term Parking    Euston Recreation Ground, Sturt Hwy, (48hr)Long Term Parking    Lake Benanee, Sturt Hwy, (96hr), facilities avail, (13km)Dump Point    Murray Terrace, Riverside Reserve, EustonPotable Water    Euston Club, Nixon StHospital  Robinvale Disrict Health Services, 128 – 132 Latje Rd, Robinvale, (6km), Ph: 03 5051 8111Doctors Surgery    Robinvale & District Medical Centre, 39 latje Rd, Robinvale, (6km), Ph: 03 5026 1744Dentist    Tankard Dental Surgery, 160 Bromley Rd, Robinvale, Ph: 03 5026 3536Pharmacy    Pisasale Robinvale Pharmacy, 21 Perrin St, Robinvale, Ph: 03 5026 3253Supermarket    Fishers Supa IGA, Robinvale, Ph: 03 5026 4961; Euston Riverfront Caravan Park & Café, Ph: 03 5026 1543
