Town Walk While you are visiting the great opal field of Yowah take one of our heritage walks. There are many historic sites and see how the miners lived. Spend some time with a local and listen to the yarns of yesteryear. The walks are well marked and all begin and end at the Tom Fagan Park.

Yowah Bore The Great Artesian Basin provides water for much of inland Australia, Yowah being one of these towns. Stretching over 1,700,000 square kilometres and covering 1/5th of Australia, the Great Artesian Basin is the largest aquifer in the world. With a temperature of water throughout the Basin varying from between 30 to 100 degrees Celsius the basin makes a great resource for fresh baths and spas. A bore drain meanders through the centre of Yowah and you are encouraged to follow the Bore Drain Walk where the water flows into a man-made dam, perfect for a barbeque or a swim. This can also be accessed by car via the airport road. Underground pipes provide the Artesian water to the town. This bore is essential to Yowah’s existence. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Bluff A viewing spectacle from all angles is ‘The Bluff’. Overlooking the Yowah township and the surrounding area, with wildlife rampant and totems placed strategically, the Bluff is a perfect place to sit and enjoy a picnic, do some bird watching, relax and reflect or take in the breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. A definite must do when in Yowah.
P.S. live like a local
