Discover Moree: art, culture and artesian waters

Moree offers visitors walks along the Mehi River, art and cultural attractions, and experiences centred on artesian water. To plan your trip, you can choose based on the activity you want: a guided walking tour, self-guided walks, public art or a water-based attraction. The format and focus vary considerably.

Walks along the Mehi River

The guided walking tour in Moree includes a leisurely walk along the banks of the Mehi River. The first stop is the Aboriginal Art Trail in Jellicoe Park. The tour is about 3 km long and takes approximately 2 hours; these estimates give you a guide for planning your time. As tour dates and itinerary details may change, check the latest tour information beforehand.

The Moree River Walk follows the Mehi River and is fully paved. A riverside path also runs through the Moree Regional Botanical Gardens. The Jim Stanley Walk in the gardens passes traditional Kamilaroi carved trees. For a historical focus, the Heritage Walk is another option: unlike the guided walking tour, it is self-guided, designed as an easy walk and highlights numerous historic buildings in Moree.

Art and culture in Moree

Moree’s art trails showcase different forms of art. The Art Mural Trail is a diverse collection of murals and art galleries. It is located in Moree’s Central Business District (CBD) and surrounding areas. The Open Space Aboriginal Art Trail features carved tree trunks, engraved and painted sandstone rocks, and scarred-pattern paintings on trees, all created by local Aboriginal artists. Individual artworks may change.

The cultural venues also each have their own focus. The Dhiiyaan Aboriginal Centre preserves the history of Aboriginal families and soldiers, as well as Aboriginal culture. The Bank Art Museum Moree offers a diverse cultural program in one of the town’s most distinctive buildings. As program details may change, check the current program before planning a visit.

The Mehi Gallery offers an authentic Aboriginal art experience. There is also an opportunity to meet regional artists at the Moree Tafe Studio; their availability may change. If meeting an artist is important to you, check their current availability beforehand.

Artesian water and water sports

The Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre on Anne Street in Moree offers an experience with natural artesian waters from the Great Artesian Basin. Operating details may change, so check the latest information before making plans. Moree Water Park is suitable for water skiing, wakeboarding and jet skiing, and operates by appointment through the Moree Water Ski Club. Arrange your appointment through the club and confirm it before you arrive. The two water attractions differ in focus: the Centre is about artesian water, while the Water Park offers water sports that require an appointment.
