Moree is situated in the heart of wheat belt country, nestled on the New South Wales and Queensland border and conveniently located at the junction of two major highways - Gwydir and Newell. Steeped in rich culture and history, Moree is recognised as Australia’s Artesian Spa capital.
Therefore a visit to the therapeutic hot artesian pool complex is a must. Relax and enjoy as soothing waters from hundreds of metres underground, bubble to the surface to rejuvenate your body and relax your mind.
Moree is also the centre of the largest cotton producing area in Australia, so you can learn first-hand about cotton production, or enjoy the town’s old-world ambience and art deco theme on a self-guided heritage walk.
In addition, there are great shopping opportunities; wine tasting at Moree’s first vineyard, and the chance to view amazing local artworks at the art gallery.
Moree’s Mediterranean style climate, with sunny days and crystal clear nights, makes it the ideal place to spend some time strolling through the beautiful local parks and gardens or undertaking tours of the largest pecan plantation in the southern hemisphere.
The area has long been the ancestral home of the Kamilaroi people and Moree is renowned for its cultural significance and Kamilaroi cultural items, such as carved trees.
Plenty of events take place throughout the year celebrating Moree’s culture, history and lifestyle. Watch cars and trucks race around the mud track at the Mungindi Mud Trials in April, taste gourmet delights at Moree on a Plate in May or visit the beautiful gardens in October.
In Moree you don’t have to dream, you can ‘live the lifestyle’.
