One of the four pools at Gwyder Caravan Park, Moree, NSW. Each pool is set to a different temperature. I love the cooler of the pools, as I exercise in it.
There is an amazing amount of thermal pools open for the gray nomad tourist traveller and Reg and I continue to spread the going jock amongst us nomads that for every hour in a thermal pool we become one year younger.  We joke about leaving home as young seniors and returning home as teenagers.

In Australia with many of our thermal pools free to use, their benefits, are often undervalued, where in other countries these pools are prized and are often turned into expensive treatment spas and incredible claims are made of curative benefits.

It is interesting too that some thermal pools are actually dangerous places where radon gas makes use of the pool too dangerous.

All the well know thermal pools in Australia are safe if you follow the guidelines, these include not submerging your face in the water remembering that certain types of organisms, can breed in the warm water.

Some of the therapeutic powers attributed to soaking in thermal pools are the healing of Various skin diseases * Rheumatism * eliminating muscle spasms * Gout * Neuralgia * Arthritis * Colitis * For improving circulation * good for opening skin pores and the best treatment for acne.

Thermal pools in Australia are a wonderful social meeting place where nomads gather to talk about their journey to the area and their travel plans from the area, exchange information about camps and road conditions.

Reg and my favourite thermal pools are at Mataranka, Northern territory, Moree NSW and at Nanga Bay Resort, in Western Australia.
