Thar-go-min-dah!

Despite the impressive welcoming signage, Thargomindah was not as large as we had expected.

We actually drove around and through a couple of times, thinking we may have missed something!

Most of the town was still closed for the Christmas holiday period - and the Tourist Information wasn't set to re-open till 4 January, which rather foiled our postcard buying efforts!

In using the public toilets we learned that the Hydro Power Plant, Thargomindah's most significant tourist attraction, did not hold demonstrations over summer (and was undergoing maintenance also).

We called over into a service station to re-fuel - and we were out of luck there too!
