Burren Junction Bore Baths

Semi-developedSeasonalNot accessible

Burren Junction Bore Baths are a low-key outback bathing and camping stop just off the Kamilaroi Highway, fed by Great Artesian Basin water that has long served the surrounding district. The site is popular with caravanners because the bath, campground, basic amenities, and dump point are grouped together in a practical roadside layout.
