Moree: Art, Culture and Water

Moree offers different ways to experience the river, art and culture, as well as water activities. Paths run along the Mehi River, where you can also join a guided walking tour. In town, cultural highlights range from murals and historic buildings to Aboriginal art and a varied museum program. Natural artesian waters are another key feature.

Walks along the Mehi River and through Moree

The Moree River Walk is a fully paved path that runs alongside the Mehi River. A riverside path also runs through the Moree Regional Botanical Gardens. There, the Jim Stanley Walk passes traditional Kamilaroi carved trees. The gardens bring together riverside walks and cultural history.

The guided walking tour in Moree offers a leisurely stroll along the Mehi River. Its first stop is the Aboriginal Art Trail in Jellicoe Park. The tour is about 3 km long and takes approximately 2 hours, so you can plan it as a separate block of time. Schedules and tour details may change, so check the latest program information in advance.

If you prefer to walk without a guide, the self-guided Heritage Walk is an easy stroll showcasing numerous historic buildings. Unlike the riverside tour, this walk focuses on Moree’s historic architecture and is self-guided.

Art and culture in different places

The Art Mural Trail is a varied collection of murals and art galleries. It is located in the heart of Moree’s Central Business District (CBD) and in the surrounding districts.

The Open Space Aboriginal Art Trail features other art forms: local Aboriginal artists created carved tree trunks, engraved and painted sandstone rocks, and scar-pattern paintings on trees. The public art offering brings together different materials and forms of expression.

The Dhiiyaan Aboriginal Centre preserves the history of Aboriginal families and soldiers, as well as Aboriginal culture. The Mehi Gallery offers an authentic Aboriginal art experience. There is also the opportunity to meet regional artists at Moree Tafe Studio. Such encounters depend on the artists’ availability.

The Bank Art Museum Moree offers a varied cultural program in one of Moree’s most distinctive buildings. Program details may change, so for a specific visit it’s best to check the latest program information.

Water experiences and choosing a hotel

The Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre offers an experience of natural artesian waters from the Great Artesian Basin. Operational details may change, so check the latest information before visiting. The Moree Water Park offers a different focus: it’s suited to water skiing, wakeboarding and jet skiing. It operates by appointment through the Moree Water Ski Club; check appointment arrangements before your visit.

Start with the focus of your stay, then look for a hotel in Moree that suits your travel plans.
