ATTRACTION EULO

This is a monument to a cockroach called 'Destructo'. In a 1980 state of origin battle 'Destructo' the New South Wales cockroach challenged the World Lizard Racing Champion 'Wooden Head' to a race. Destructo won the race but in the excitement of the finish he was squashed by a Queensland Riding Boot. A monument stands on the Paroo Race Track. It reads: "Destructo - champion racing cockroach accidentally killed at this track 24/08/1980 after winning the challenge stakes against Wooden Head - champion racing lizard". It was unveiled in Eulo in 1981.

The Heritage Trail Eulo helps you build the picture of the wild days of Eulo when a policeman was as requested because 'the riff raff from New South Wales were coming over the border' and the Eulo Queen reigned supreme. Today Eulo's interesting past can be experienced by following the heritage trail. The bookings are available from the Visitor Information Centre in Cunnamulla and the businesses in Eulo.

The Mud Springs are located nine kilometres west of Eulo. The mud springs have evolved due to the underground pressure from the Great Artesian Basin, forcing mud through fissures in the ground. The mud springs are centuries old. Since the sinking of bores the pressure has lessened and many of the mud springs are no longer active. The mound is quite hard on top and sounds hollow if you jump on it.
