Outdoor artesian bore bath just east of Pilliga village, about 56 kilometres from Wee Waa on a sealed road. Hot water from the Great Artesian Basin has fed the bath for well over a century. Day visits cost nothing, and a basic primitive campground beside the bath charges a small nightly fee per site. There is no drinking water or power on site.
