From Isla Gorge it is a relatively short trip into the small town of Theodore on the Dawson River, If you want to stay in Theodore with a caravan or motorhome you have two choices, the showground at $15.00 per night, or Junction Park right at the end of the main street, for free. Well there is a donation box which all responsible campers contribute to, as did we, of course. We stayed two nights at this delightful location and took several walks into town and along the riverbank. We shopped in the IGA and had lunch in the pub, the only pub in Australia that is owned and operated by the community, so it felt good that we were really and directly contributing to the local community.

Junction Park - Theodore |
Leaving Theodore on the Leichhardt Highway we passed through the quaintly named town of Banana and on to another free overnight stop at Dululu before reaching our next stop at Mt. Morgan. The Mt. Morgan van park was a great place to stay whilst we explored this historic mining town, All mining activity has long since ceased but there are still many reminders of this important era of the town's early days.
