Goodooga

Nestled deep in the heart of the outback, Goodooga is a place with vast open skies and striking red earth. Escape into captivating landscapes and immense expanses of nothing but nature. Rich with wildlife, rivers teeming with fish, ancient culture and a warm community spirit.

Goodooga’s natural beauty is matched by one of its greatest drawcards: the Goodooga Artesian Baths. Fed by the largest artesian basin in Australia, these naturally heated, mineral-rich waters have long been celebrated for their restorative qualities. Slip into the steaming pools under an open sky and feel the calm of the outback settle around you. Whether you visit at sunrise or after dark beneath a canopy of stars, the Baths offer a truly unforgettable experience.

Before heading further into the scrublands or crossing the border into Queensland, travellers can stock up on essentials at the Goodooga Community Store, a friendly hub for locals and visitors alike.

Visiting during winter? This is when the village comes alive with the roar of the crowd and the grit of true bush footy. The Goodooga Magpies - tough, talented and legendary across the region - take to the field, offering some of the most spirited country rugby league you’ll ever see.

Goodooga is a place of contrasts: peaceful yet full of character, remote yet welcoming, ancient yet always alive with community pride. It’s the kind of outback town that stays with you long after you’ve left.
