Although Phillip Island and outback Queensland are vastly different in climate, succulents and geraniums are the best survivors in each place. This is surprising to me. Salt-laden winds lash the vegetation on Phillip Island, and in Mitchell, repeated frosts and extreme dryness test plants to the limit of their endurance. Consequently, our garden in each place consists of indigenous plants, succulents and geraniums -- and nothing fancy at all.
Mitchell's artesian spa works magic for travellers and residents alike. With faces flushed and a lightness of step, travellers leave the spa and make their way down the riverbank, across the foot bridge spanning the Maranoa River and then up the other side to the Caravan Park. With joints soothed, faces smile more easily now.
