Pilliga Wetlands

Pilliga is a small town well beyond its halcyon time of hustle and bustle. A few people call this home and there is a Cafe and community clinic. Any needs beyond the basics as well as fuel would require a trip to Narrabri.

Two kilometres out of town is the old artesian bore with a camping area alongside. Visitors can camp here and enjoy the artesian baths at a comfortable 37 degrees. Said to have wonderful therapeutic value this is a nice relaxing experience.

The water flows from the baths from the artesian bore then exits to the nearby wetlands. This always has some water but after rain is quite extensive.

Many birds can ba seen here foraging for food in the lagoons and along the edges.Read more
