A HAVEN FOR PERSONAL HEALING, GROWTH AND DISCOVERY
Whether it be mineralised mud baths, therapeutic spas or even Australia’s largest and deepest artesian basin – Queensland’s Southern Outback has it all. So pack your swimmers and your meditation music because here’s your wellness guide to relaxation, rejuvenation and exploration.
Artesian Time Tunnel
The Great Artesian Basin (GAB) is one of Australia’s greatest natural wonders. It contains most of Australia’s fresh water and lies beneath nearly a quarter of the continent – stretching from Cape York down to NSW and SA, covering parts of NT, and all of South West Queensland.
The Artesian Time Tunnel is an interactive explanation of the Great Artesian Basin and how it drives economic development in the South West. Spend the day exploring the old mine lift and travel back in time 100 million years ago to see the ancient sandstone rocks that formed part of the Great Artesian Basin.

Learn how the underground river flows through one-fifth of inland Australia and discover the ancient animals and dinosaurs that roamed the land millions of years ago.
The Artesian Time Tunnel is only the start of what you can experience in the Paroo Shire.

Artesian Mud Baths
If you enjoy a more rejuvenating experience, slip into Eulo’s mineral-rich outdoor artesian mud baths and relax as you soak in ancient artesian clay. The mud springs are rich in rejuvenating minerals that have come from the underground pressures of the Great Artesian Basin.
It is an opportunity to clear your mind, relax your body, and let your skin soak in nature’s own unique formula.
Enjoy the fresh air, a glass of wine and even a plate of nibbles. You can even experience an outback sunset from the comforts of your tub. You’ll never want to bath inside again!

St George BATHS (Balonne Artesian Thermal Hot Springs)
For a more therapeutic experience visit St George (BATHS). The thermal pool is open year-round for you to enjoy the artesian spring water heated to 34 degrees.
The St George BATHS are a great place to stop for a relaxing swim and to revitalise your body and mind while travelling. The facility provides easy access for all, featuring a ramp and rail to enter the therapeutic waters.

TESTIMONIALS
"Very informative. We explored the Artesian time tunnel and the museum. Self guided tour gave a detailed overview of the Artesian Basin and the effects of the bores on the water table. Nice to see that it is being preserved. The teenage kids were not so appreciative, but hey, you cant please everyone! We adults thought it was great."
Andrew
"The spas are definitely worth a visit. Immaculately kept grounds and spotlessly clean facilities. The staff were excellent, friendly and attentive. Best coffee for at least 200km! Kids really enjoyed the ice cream."
