# Cooladdi

Cooladdi is a ghost town in southwest Outback Queensland. Once a busy rail town with 270 people, today all that remain are three residents, three buildings and the grave of a small child.

## Understand

Renamed in 1913 from its original name of Yarronvale, Cooladdi predates the 'Flying Flea' steam train from Charleville to Quilpie. In its heyday as a major rail centre, Cooladdi boasted a school, butcher shop, post office, store and police station accommodating 270 residents. The railway bypassed the town in 1914, starting a long decline. A Cooladdi State School which opened in 1970 was abandoned in 1974.
Now the smallest town in Australia, Cooladdi has its own motel, (disused) train station, self-rated four-star restaurant, pub and general store, which is also the home of the three residents of the town.

## Get in

Access is by road only, from Charleville — approximately ninety minutes away.

## Talk

The primary language is English.

## Get in
### By car

From the Seattle area, you can reach the North Central Cascades by I-90 over Snoqualmie Pass to Ellensburg or US-2 over Stevens Pass to Wenatchee. Either way it is about a 2-2.5 hour drive. From Spokane to the east, you can take either US-2 or I-90 to the region. There is a border crossing on US-97 that connects the region to the Okanogan Valley in British Columbia.

### By train

The only train service to this area is on Amtrak's Empire Builder that stops at Wenatchee. The Empire Builder goes across the northern United States from Seattle to Chicago.

### By air

Pangborn Memorial Airport in Wenatchee has commercial flights to Seattle only. It is probably easier just to take a flight to Seattle and then drive to this region.

## Get around

Public transportation is limited, so driving is basically the only way to see this region. The major north-south route is US-97, which goes through the middle of the region connecting Ellensburg, Wenatchee and Omak. East-west highways include I-90 through Ellensburg, US-2 through Wenatchee and Leavenworth and WA-20 through Winthrop and Omak.

# Marazion

Marazion (Cornish: Marhasyow) is small coastal village near Penzance in West Cornwall. The tidal island of St Michael's Mount is half-a-mile offshore. At low water a causeway links it to the town and at high water passenger boats carry visitors between Marazion and St Michael's Mount. Marazion is a tourist resort with an active community of artists who produce and sell paintings and pottery in the town's art galleries.

## Get in
### By car

Marazion is a 15-minute drive from Penzance.

### By train

* Travel to the nearby Penzance for rail services.
The railway station at the lower end of Penzance is next to the bus station. As well as regular services to London, the train is a great way to travel to St Ives and stations along the way. Most journeys to St Ives will require changing trains at St Erth, but some early morning and late evening services are direct to and from Penzance. The St Ives branch line affords picturesque views across St Ives, Carbis Bay and the Hayle estuary. Travelling to St Ives from Penzance or St Erth, make sure you sit on the right hand side of the train for the best views.
Use the National Rail website to plan your journey.
A Ride Cornwall Ranger is a good-value ticket, allowing unlimited off-peak (after 8:30AM) travel in Cornwall by bus and train, and in 2017 costs £13.

## Do

* -15.94943935.592911 Sapitwa. Its highest peak (3002 m) can be reached without technical climbing experience, but does involve some tough and strenuous hiking. From the Chisepo hut, the 3 km (6 hr) to the peak are very steep and you must use your hands most of the time to crawl on the face. Ideally you should set aside a few days to explore a section of the Mulanje Massiff, but a comprehensive exploration could easily take a week. Porters and guides can be hired at either InfoMulanje or the Likhubula Forestry Station. (updated Sep 2024)

# Mua

Mua Village, Mua Mission and the KuNgoni Centre of Culture and Art are in the Dedza district of Malawi.

## Understand

A nineteenth-century Roman Catholic mission station that has spawned a museum of cultural history unsurpassed in the region and an organisation for marketing the incredibly imaginative and complex work of local carvers and sculptors.

## Get in

Mua is just off the road between Salima and Balaka (the M5), about 50km south of Salima and just north of the junction with for Cape Maclear (the M10). The turning for the dirt road up to Mua is on your left if you are heading north (up the M5) and is signposted "Mua Parish".

## See

* KuNgoni Centre of Culture and Art (Next to Mua Mission and a short walk from the village), ☏ +265 9 511 884, +265 9 294 320. KuNgoni offers visitors an excellent cultural museum with rooms about Chewa, Ngoni and Yao cultures as well as a history of Christianity in Malawi. There is a library / research centre on the cultures of Malawi, and KuNgoni run cultural courses and programmes for groups and individuals, which can include performances of traditional dances and songs. There is a gallery selling high-quality carvings and other art work from over 100 local artists. Tours of the museum cost around $5 per person.
* The church and mission buildings give an insight into the nature of the nineteenth-century missions to Africa.
* You can also explore the surrounding village, where you can be certain of a friendly welcome.

## Do

The museum is a little deceptive in that it packs a vast amount of material into a relatively small space. By the look of the buildings, you might think a couple of hours will be ample. But if you really want to understand the local cultures and their traditions, the best thing you can do anywhere in Malawi (or indeed most of southern Africa) is to spend a few days at Mua, and spend a couple of hours each morning and a couple each afternoon in the museum.

## Buy

Most of the carvings and sculptures available in tourist shops in Malawi are made at Mua. While you are here, you can buy them at around half the price you would pay elsewhere –- and the money goes directly to the carvers. The range on display is only a fraction of what is available, so it is well worth asking for permission to spend some time sorting through the rooms full of work for that extra special something.
If there is something in particular that you would like carved, they also take commissions.
You can also buy books about Malawian culture here, including some on local cultures by the founder of the KuNgoni Museum, Claude Boucher.

## Eat

Meals can be arranged for around $7.50 per person.

## Sleep

Chalet accommodation is available from KuNgoni for around $20 per night (including breakfast).
