We couldn't find a place to park to take photos in Moree,. nor did we visit the artesian hot springs due to the need to get to our next stop for the night.
Moree is a major town which we passed through.
Moree is a major agricultural centre, noted for its part in the Australian cotton-growing industry which was established there in the early 1960s. The first cotton plant in Moree was from a farm called Wilga. It was grown by Bill and Betty Lynch.
The town is located at the junction of the Newell Highway and Gwydir Highway and can be reached by daily train and air services from Sydney. It is situated in the Shire of Moree Plains. Like many towns and cities in Australia, Moree shares its name with a much smaller community in Northern Ireland in County Tyrone. At the 2011 census, Moree had a population of 9,346, which was an increase from 8,083 in 2006.
Moree is home to artesian hot spring baths which are famous for their reputed healing qualities.

One of the churches as we drove past.
A skate park at Moree, NSW
This Hotel is at Boggabilla in NSW, it's called the Wobbly Boot!
This Pub is not that far north of Moree.
Again, Margaret--- I love seeing the architecture of everyday stuff in Australia. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome and of course I do have more to show as the days go by.
DeleteMargare the church looks in European style. Skates parks are becoming more and more popular at my place
ReplyDeleteWas a nice church, skate parks have been here in Australia for a very long time.
DeleteGood places on your tour, which we can now appreciate on your return.

Thanks...looking forward to showing more photos of the long holiday that is now past.
DeleteLove that pub name. And suspect that it wasn't the boots that were wobbly...
ReplyDelete:) Interesting I reckon how it got it's name.
DeleteGreat pictures. Can't wait to see more
ReplyDeleteThanks, and have lots more to come.
DeleteIt is a lovely park! Have a good one.
ReplyDeleteVery nice park, was clean and tidy.
DeleteWhat a funny name for the hotel. I bet there is a good story there.
ReplyDeleteThere would have to be a very funny story about the name - a certain person might know!
DeleteMoree looks nice. Th hotel would look so much better if the ugly verandah enclosure on the second storey was removed.
ReplyDeleteMostly we drive past Moree except for this last time, took a good look around with the caravan on behind, pity there was no where to park in the main area - but maybe another time we go up that way.
DeletePart of the verandah could certainly be removed. The pub was for sale before we went on holiday - don't know if it's been sold as yet.
Agree with Bill.. the local architecture are the ones that bring up life in a town ...
ReplyDeleteThat's true as it certainly let's us all know what the town is like.
