Burren Junction Bore Baths

Burren Junction is a small town 51 km west of Wee Waa, on the road to Walgett and Lightning Ridge. Its most distinctive feature is the hot artesian bore bath, a large cement pool surrounded by tamarind trees and filled with warm water which has been flowing under natural pressure for over a century.

The Great Artesian Basin is approximatley two million years old! Natural pressure sends the water to the surface through an artesian bore and it maintains a constant temperature of 41.5 degrees celcius.

The bores supplying these baths are only a few of hundreds being rehabilitated througout the Great Artesian Basin conserving this precious natural resources for furture generations.
