The spectacle of hot water gushing from the natural 914 metre deep Bibbawarra Bore is a fascinating sight. View the remains of the impressive 175 metre troughs that were used to transport the ground water to sheep and cattle, cooling along the way. Discovered in 1905 the bore still produces a continuous flow of water today. Learn about its discovery and interesting statistics about the bore. The temperatures of the water reach up to 68 degrees so be sure to take care when walking around the bore. Due to its remote location, the bore is only accessible when the river is dry. While in the area, pay a visit to the Heritage Precinct in Carnarvon where you can enjoy a walk down the historic One Mile Jetty, take numerous walk trails, fish or learn some of the history of Carnarvon at the Lighthouse Cottage Museum. Located ten hours drive north of Perth and just a short 20 minute drive north of Carnarvon, Bibbawarra Bore is a unique sight to see.
Unfortunately it is not the tourist attraction it used to be as it has not been cared for for many years and has been left to nature abit. However it is still an amazing spot to visit and imagine what it once was in its day.
This cache requires access via gravel roads which are well formed and when dry suitable for road going vehicles. Please take extreme care on the roads though as they are a loose surface and common sense and sensible driving is required to get here.
The Cache itself is a small tupperwear container hidden in plain sight in the vicinity of the bore. Please replace it just as you found it and take care to place the lid back on correctly. There is room for some small swapables and trackables. We have left some stickers in there for the first and second to find. Please enjoy the location and remember take only photos and leave only footprints.
As always remember to bring a pen or pencil as I am sure someone will borrow it :)
