Bore Bath, Lightning Ridge, NSW
This looks like a portal to another universe, but it’s actually a hot bore bath in the middle of New South Wales. The water comes from a thermal spring one kilometre underground and sits at a steamy 40 degrees celcius, so you can only stay in for a few minutes at a time before you need a cold shower. The bath is open 24 hours and is free, so has become something of a local meeting place in this black opal mining town (and also the birthplace of Paul Hogan).
