Mayor Kate Peddle has insisted that Hughenden is a safe town for tourists after a caravan was stolen with a family of five still inside on Monday night.
An outback Queensland mayor says Hughenden is a safe town for tourists after a brazen caravan theft during peak visitor season.
"The community can rest assured that police will hunt down those responsible and they will be held to account," he said."Every Queenslander, and indeed visitors to our state, has the right to not only be safe, but feel safe." Cr Peddle also said putting offenders to work could stop the state's crime epidemic from seeping into country towns.
