If outback Queensland is pretty low on your travel wish list, we have some news that might just bump it up to the top. Coming to southern Queensland on 1 February is the Cunnamulla Hot Springs, a stunning new hot springs destination where ultimate relaxation is guaranteed.
This incredible experience beside the Warrego River will feature multiple free-flowing geothermal pools filled with mineral rich artesian water at a variety of temperatures, naturally heated by the artesian basin that runs underground below. There’ll be both hot and cold plunge pools to dip into, and a sauna along with salt scub and clay mask areas and outdoor showers in the state-of-the-art complex.
We're also keen to try the specially designed 'shallow pool,' which will let you be totally immersed the waters as you lay back and gaze at the stars in the sky above—which are fare more plentiful out here in the outback than they are in the city.
You’re probably thinking “ok but where the hell is Cunnamulla?” Well the outback town isn’t close by—it’s a solid eight hour drive west of Brisbane, in fact, but regional flights are available via Rex. If you do want to drive, you’ll find plenty to see and do along the way, with Cunnamulla a pitstop on both the Matilda Way and Adventure Way, two of Queensland’s best scenic road trips.
The hot springs are set to open on 1 February with bookings opening soon, and frankly, we’re already plotting our road trip. Find out everything you need to know here.
