Outback mural.
Finally, we reached Hughenden which is about one third of the way more or less between Townsville and Mt. Isa. It was an important railway town on the line to Mt. Isa with the added branch down to Winton. Sadly, in recent years the depot there has been downgraded with staff being posted away or probably made redundant and that has had an adverse impact on the town. Despite this, it still has some great murals, all of which except this outback scene by Drapl and Zookeeper we managed to miss. It also has a Dinosaur museum and a few other bits and pieces. A town that always fascinated me and I am glad we managed to get back via a previously unvisited road.
