About Moree

A b o u t M o r e e

Moree is located in North-West NSW Australia, and sits at the junction of the Mehi & Gwydir Rivers, and is the centre of the local farming district. Moree is a known area, thanks to its rich black-soil plains. So rich, one local claimed the soil is so fertile, 'You could put a matchstick in the ground overnight and get a walking stick in the morning'!

Moree offers many events and festivals throughout the calender year. Details at Tourism Moree.
