Left Charleville this morning for Roma, via Morven and Mitchell. We stopped off at Mitchell for the Artesian Spa baths and that was simply superb. The main bath had a temperature between 30 to 50 degrees. The water is pumped from underground, straight from the Great Artesian Basin into the pool. It was full of Grey Nomads, trying to ease their tired old bodies I would suggest.

From Mitchell it was into Roma and just after we got here a huge thunderstorm hit us. Very violent thunder and lightening and whilst we had heavy rain, it only lasted a few minutes so the locals get not get a good dumping as they had hoped. What did happen was the temperature dropped from an oppressive 34 to a manageable 25.

Roma is a fair size town but there is not much in the way of tourism here from what we have seen. The Big Rig (an Oil & Gas Exploration) Centre and the big Bottle Tree are the highlights, fortunately we are here for 1 night only, as its off to Toowoomba tomorrow.
