Comment: Major Mitchell's Campsite

We were there a couple of years back, camped at the Weir as the tracks into MM were in bad condition.

Tks for reply Peter.

I think you might be talking about the Major Mitchell Caravan Park, where I've enjoyed staying a few times. The Major Mitchell's Campsite I'm researching is some 40km north of the Town of Mitchell, off the Mitchell-Forest Vale Rd where Major Mitchell established a second depot in 1846 on the Maranoa River during his fourth major northern expedition.

I plan to visit that Campsite on my way to the central west in a few months. I'll have some more detail, with photographs, afterwards. As they say, watch this space!

If interested, have a look at the Royal Geological Society of Qld notes including Mitchell's expedition.

Cheers,

John

Totally agree my friend. But my query was as per my reply to Peter above. The Major Mitchell Campsite, some 40km north of the MMCP, looks interesting, to me. Am heading there (Campsite NOT Caravan Park) in a few months en route to Central Qld.

Cheers,

John
