| MUCKADILLA HOTEL |
MONDAY 24.06.2013: Surprisingly we made the decision to have a short drive day. As such, we did not set sail till midday and drove a good 50 metres up the road to the Muckadilla Hotel which was built in 1912. - great atmosphere. There are two benches out the front of the pub, one is for yarns and one for politics.

Next stop was Mitchell - the town is named after Sir Thomas Mitchell explorer and Surveyor General of New South Wales, who explored the area in 1846. In 1902, after a short stand-off, bushrangers Patrick and James Kenniff were captured south of Mitchell at a location now known as arrest creek. Patrick was hanged in 1903 for the murder of Constable George Doyle and Albert Dahlke, while James was released after 12 years imprisonment and died peacefully in 1940. We made our way to the Downshire Arms Hotel - interesting. Our two drink pub crawl finished at Mitchell as the Neil Turner Weir Camping Area was only 2 klms down the road!
