Around 780 km southwest of Brisbane, Cunnamulla sits on the Warrego River where the red dirt and big sky of outback Queensland feel entirely at home. It's a town with genuine character — celebrated for its naturally heated artesian hot springs, a proud connection to Australian bush poetry, and the kind of unhurried hospitality that only the outback delivers. With Cooee Tours, you'll experience all of it in the company of an expert guide and like-minded travellers.
Artesian Hot Springs
Fed by the vast Great Artesian Basin, Cunnamulla's naturally heated pools offer a genuinely unique outback experience. Slip in beneath open skies and feel the warmth of water that has travelled underground for thousands of years.
Bush Poetry & Outback Heritage
Cunnamulla has deep roots in Australia's bush poetry tradition and a rich pastoral history along the Warrego River. Your guide brings the stories of explorers, drovers and outback characters to life in the place where they happened.

Best Time to Visit Cunnamulla
The ideal time for outback Queensland touring is April to September, when the heat has eased and conditions are perfect for both sightseeing and soaking in the springs.
- Autumn (April–May): Comfortable temperatures and low humidity make this an excellent time to explore town and enjoy the hot springs at their most inviting after summer.
- Winter (June–August): Peak touring season. Cool, dry days are ideal for coach travel, and the springs feel especially welcoming on crisp outback mornings.
- Spring (September): Wildflowers colour the plains and temperatures are still pleasant before the heat of summer returns to southwestern Queensland.
