BURREN JUNCTION

Burren Junction

Walgett Shire

FacebookTweetLinkedInEmail

An hour’s drive east of Walgett along the Kamilaroi Highway brings you to Burren Junction. This small, welcoming town features a few streets with churches, a school, a post office and a pub.

Tourists, like those visiting nearby Walgett and Lightning Ridge, are drawn to Burren Junction for its hot therapeutic waters that bubble up from the Great Artesian Basin. The Burren Junction Bore Baths, open seasonally, are an ideal spot for visitors and locals to mingle. You can park your RV or pitch a tent at the RV-friendly campground next door, which offers powered amenities and wood-fueled BBQs.

For a powered site or a self-contained cabin, head to the Junction City Hotel. The hotel is a great place to refuel, providing diesel for your car and hearty meals for you and your crew, all served with a generous dose of country hospitality. While the pub is often quiet, its atmosphere livens up during the cotton-picking season from April to June, and from September to December during the local wheat harvest. In the evenings, you’ll find hard-working harvesters unwinding with cold beer and friendly banter, filling every corner of this humble country pub.
