Eulo!
Eulo is a small town belonging to our shire area and is one of the places, Out the Back Australia operates in.
Here you can visit the Eulo Date Farm & Winery and enjoy your personal mud bath or try and buy some dates, date wine and cosmetic products.
We were there to experience all these things. The farm owners Nan and Ian welcomed us hearty and showed us what their land has to offer.
We looked forward to our mud bath, because it was a little cool this morning and only the thought of hot water on our skin made us smiling happily.
The bath tubs are very special! Not only the colors, also the stands look notably. They remind me of different animal feet, like bird crawls and hooves of horses or cows.
But it is not that crushing as it might sound now. It creates more a friendly and comfortable atmosphere, with the palm crowns over your head and bamboo fences around you.
You can choose where you want to have your bath and there also is the opportunity to do it in a double tub!
After we decided who takes which tub, Ian- one of the owners, explained us what to do in which order.
At first you enjoy your mud bath. That means you are laying in a hot mixture of water and mud. Then you put another layer of mud on your skin and have to wait til its dry. That feels a little bit strange, because your skin gets strained a bit. After that you go back into your mud bath and then you take a shower. You will be surprised how soft your skin feels like after doing it that! .. Especially when you are finished, cause in the last step you put a special date lotion on your skin. Now you feel at least twenty years younger! It is really very nice!
Towels, cream and mud are provided.
So just bring your bikini or nothing and enjoy it!
You even can be hungry as you get some snacks like cheese, crackers and dates during your bath.
If it hadn’t been morning, we would have got some date wine while bathing and relaxing, but instead we got a beverage of our choice, which was a hot chocolate in this case. Thank you!
It is awesome to lay in the hot water, feeling your muscles relax, drinking a hot chocolate and listening the birds how they welcome the first sunrays in the morning.
Now it was time for us to celebrate that wonderful day: with a dram of date wine, which is very sweet and yummy. Same as the dried and fresh dates are, you can try and buy in the shop on the farm.
We bought the cream we put on our skin after the bath. It’s a really good one, giving your skin minerals and moisture.
Last we had a little chat with some tourists visiting the farm and discovering all the small and big things in the shop and the surrounding.
That was a fantastic start into the day and we probably will do it again someday, but then maybe at night time... !
