Thermal pools Moree

In the heart of the agricultural plains of New South Wales, the town of Moree is home to one of Australia's most distinctive artesian spring resorts. Fed by the Great Artesian Basin, the pools deliver bicarbonate water rising naturally to a body-warming 41 °C — silky and enveloping against the dry, open landscape that defines this corner of the continent.

With an alkaline pH of 8, the water has a gentle, slightly soft quality that has drawn visitors since the early twentieth century. The Gomeroi people, the traditional custodians of this land, recognised the soothing nature of these hot springs long before European settlement. Today, the Moree thermal pools remain a destination for road-trippers crossing inland New South Wales, offering outdoor soaking under wide outback skies and a pace of life that rewards those willing to detour from the coastal highway.
