Walgett Artesian Bore Baths

Semi-developedSeasonalNot accessible

Walgett Artesian Bore Baths are part of the town's long artesian bathing history, with earlier baths dating to the 1930s and the current Bicentenary-era site opened in 1988. Current council information says the Walgett Artesian Baths are closed for the 2026 season because of the condition of the facility, so travellers should not plan a soak here until council announces a reopening or replacement aquatic centre.
