Goodooga Artesian Baths, situated in the remote far-northwest corner of New South Wales near the Queensland border, harness Great Artesian Basin water to fill a community pool that has served this small Indigenous and pastoral community for generations. The naturally warm oligomineral water provides a clean bathing resource in an otherwise water-scarce landscape, underlining the critical role of artesian basins in sustaining life in Australia's interior. Goodooga's baths are a living example of how geothermal resources shape social and cultural life in remote Australia.
