Just got back from a months cruising around Outback NSW , some of the most reaxing moments were had soaking in the Hot
Bore Baths . I know there is a lot of artisian bores for agriculture uses etc and we crossed many
bore drains that had good flows of water in them but I was wondering how many there is that have been developed for public use ,if you know of any please let me know . We visited Pilliga
Bore @37C ,
Burren Junction @40C
Lightning Ridge @ 50C . I know there is pools at Moree and at
Walgett and travellers on the track said that pools exist at Come By Chance and Possibly at Carinda but I can find no reference to these apart from a mention of a
bore head
pool at Carinda but does not mention if it is hot artisian water . We have visited
the pool at
Yarrangobilly Caves at the Snowys which is nice and it is classed as a
thermal pool but from memory its waters come from 100 odd metres underground and so is not all that hot where as
Lightning Ridge comes from 1024ms underground and is very hot . Will be going again in the near future but would like to visit other areas as
well . A full list of public access pools would be great and would make a great journey travelling from place to place .
Cheers
