FIT FOR A QUEEN
Imagine a lovely green oasis, set amongst the mulga. This is Eulo. It’s little more than a one-pub, one-general store town and yet it has a distinct charm. Spend time exploring this delightful haven perched on the banks of the Paroo River... you’ll be glad you did.
Back in the 1880s when opal mining was at its peak, Eulo was a bustling township with three hotels. For a while it was home to one of the legends of the opal era, ‘The Eulo Queen’. Today the town centrepiece is the Eulo Queen Hotel, named after the thrice-married pub owner, storekeeper and opal trader, Isabel Gray. According to folklore, she was attempting to eject an unruly drinker, and roared: ‘I’m the Eulo Queen – now get out!’
Visit the Eulo Queen Hotel for a cold beer and great pub lunch or dinner . With powered and unpowered camp sites and motel accommodation it’s easy to stay a few days- the fully equipped General Store attached has great coffee and comprehensive supplies to keep you stocked up for your trip.
While there, you should take a moment to read some of the local versions of the Eulo Queen story posted on the walls..
FINE FOOD AND FINE ART
Each winter, beekeepers travel to Eulo so their bees can feed on the Napunyah tree, a Warrego variety of Eucalyptus found in the region. The Outback honey they produce is often described as you would a fine wine... dark amber, tasting of caramel and spicy butterscotch with a hint of pepper. It’s no surprise that this gourmet honey has taken out blue ribbons at The Royal Easter Show in Sydney. You can purchase a selection of natural honey skin care products derived from this honey from the Eulo Queen Opal Centre.
Eulo has a variety of different artisans with crafts spreading from leather working to jewellery making to patchwork. Explore the main street and discover the locally made goods on offer.

WARREGO RIVER WALK
The Warrego River Walk takes you along the scenic banks of the Warrego, across black flood plains and through the channels. It’s a great place for birdwatching, fishing, enjoying the local flora and the serenity of nature.
THE WALK
The walk starts at the new Cunnamulla Hot Springs and meanders along the levy bank, under the Darby Land Bridge and back up across the bridge and to a place referred to by locals as the Police Paddock. Years ago, when police patrolled on horseback, they kept their horses in this paddock on the river. The Stock Squad has since used the paddock to impound or hold stock they suspect is stolen. Over the course of the river walk, you’ll see a diverse range of flora – some unique to the area, others from a world away. Keep your eyes out!
WHAT’S SPECIAL
Be sure to watch your step, as the prolific birdlife will have you gazing into the skies. Western Grey and Red Kangaroos are a common sight. Meat Ants also known as Gravel Ants are abundant.
Watch out for their huge nests which although are typically built underground, are conspicuous by a mound of sand, gravel and pebbles, or even bits of dead vegetation on the surface. A single nest may contain over 64,000 ants. Meat Ants are omnivores (eat plants and animals) and because they forage during the day you’ll be able to observe them at work.
SUNSET
The sunset viewing platform is located approximately half way along the walk. If you time your walk correctly, you could be in for a spectacular display of Outback nature at its finest. Our sunsets are arguably the finest in the world with rich vibrant colours swirled across the sky contrasting against a palette of soft pastels that blend and graduate into the horizon.
artesian mud springs
Built up over centuries these Mud Springs were the original release valves for the Great Artesian Basin. As underground pressure grows, mud is forced up through fissures in the ground. You’ll notice the mounds have soft jelly-like tops. These springs are centuries old and are a permanent water source in our semi arid landscape.
WHAT’S SPECIAL
This super-group of Great Artesian Basin (GAB) springs have a very high conservation value. They support specialised plants and animals only found in GAB springs.
TOP EXPERIENCE
Follow the signed trail to learn the history of the Mud Springs, going back to a time when loud bangs were heard in Eulo when the springs blew out. For a more detailed look at the history of the GAB visit the Artesian Time Tunnel in Cunnamulla.

WHAT’S SPECIAL
See native plant interpretive signage as you journey through the regional ecosystems. You’ll also spot plenty of birdlife around the waterways and wetlands. The paths are wheelchair friendly.
TOP EXPERIENCE

Many parrot species including Bourke’s Parrot, Bluebonnets and Mulga Parrots can be seen here throughout the year.
