about 11 of these baths actually situated along the water's edge this is obviously your prime position here but um yeah it's really great to sit here and watch the sunset or actually watch the sun rise every morning the bus are right beside the non-powered site so if you're off-road camping then you can park anywhere along here uh the powered sites and the cabins that we're actually staying in are situated about 10 kilometers down the road further closer towards the homestead so but you drive up here there is a lot of baths here i'm guessing when it is a busier time of year it might be harder to get in the bath but you're not actually in the bath for very long because it is quite hot um but yeah we're gonna go jump on in the great artesian basin is one of the largest underground water reservoirs in the world and it's about 100 to 250 million years old it consists of layers of water sandstone and is replenished during the rainfall it takes up about one-fifth of australia and the reason you can find several experiences like this throughout outback queensland south australia northern territory and new south wales the water inside the basin moves very slow at around point two or two point five meters per year and it goes to about a hundred to three thousand meters deep the ball here is never turned off and flows roughly at five hundred and twelve thousand gallons of water per day the temperature ranges over 40 degrees celsius and this is why it's perfect spot for sunrise sunset and those winter seasons the minerals from the underground rocks and the heat make it a relaxing spa and therapeutic to your skin and muscles mostly the water is fresh and suitable for drinking although it might have a slight smell from the minerals it's advised to only stay in the bath for about 20 minutes but after a break you can just jump right back in [Music] the artesian water or creek runs all around the property and you can drive beside it for a long time it's also a great place to find all your animals the water is cooler here away from the borehead and the animals will come down to drink now i really hope you're adding to the charlotte plains station and the hot artesian baths to the list of places to visit in outback queensland i really appreciate you watching this far and smash that like button if you've enjoyed it if you're exploring more of queensland or
