Moree, NSW


Ratings: CP ** Surroundings *

We had an overnight stay in Moree, known for its artesian hot thermal baths and fertile soils. It sits above the Great Artesian Basin. It was also one of the destinations of the 1965 Freedom Bus Ride through New South Wales highlighting discrimination against Indigenous Australians and led by Charles Perkins. After some confrontation with the council, it was agreed that the Aboriginal children could swim in the Moree public swimming pool outside school hours.



For those of you who don't recognise the words, they are basically Australian for "Lock up your valuables" but with more embellishment!


Camp kitchen in the park where people gather to discuss pressing issues such as where to travel to next!
