Nestled on the New South Wales and Queensland border, Moree is rich in culture, heritage, agriculture and natural assets. Each component intertwines to define the characteristics of both the town and the community.

Moree is a town which promotes itself as “Home of Artesian Water Country”. Since 1895 it has tapped into the hot springs of the Great Artesian Basin and promoted them as healing waters. This has attracted people seeking healthy spa water.

Located on both sides of the Mehi River, Moree has numerous attractive riverside parks and reserves. It is deservedly famous for its outstanding collection of Art Deco buildings which make the town centre particularly fascinating.
