DESTINATION: Moree
This wheat and wool town in the north-west of New South Wales has a landscape dominated by huge wheat silos. Sunflowers, pecan nuts and cotton are also grown in the area. Moree is a renowned spa area, with many visitors coming to ease aches their and pains in the famous artesian baths. Main AttractionsIn 1895, the Moree Spa Pool was completed at East Moree and the town became a famous health resort. It was originally thought that the bore water tapped at Moree would be used for irrigation, but the heavy mineral content meant it was unsuitable. The spa complex offers 2 hot pools with temperatures of 41C, an Olympic-size pool, toddlers' pool and junior pool. Rheumatism and arthritis sufferers claim the water provides pain relief. The town has the largest Aboriginal population outside the major cities of New South Wales. The Moree Plains Regional Gallery houses a large number of artefacts and contemporary works with exhibitions changing every 6 weeks. Moree Regional Library has the largest collection of Aboriginal reference books and information within New South Wales. The library staff continually update and record Aboriginal family history and genealogy. |
