Here’s a chance to immerse your body in some healing mineralised artesian water said to be relaxing for the body and therapeutic for the soul. You can’t buy this in a bottle.

The Great Artesian Spa in Mitchell has been created to make you feel like you’re taking a dip in an outback billabong. Lower yourself into the naturally heated waters pumped deep from the Great Artesian Basin and feel the tension in your muscles begin to relax, and then slowly slip away. The second pool has been designed for those who prefer a cooler experience.

The Spa Complex conveniently joins the Mitchell Memorial Swimming Pool, so there’s a swimming experience here to keep the entire family happy. There is also the Healthbyte Internet Café, gift shop and Mitchell’s Visitor Information Centre located within the complex. So before leaving Mitchell, “take the waters”, just as the ancient Egyptians and Romans did over many centuries, as a therapeutic tradition.
