“Barmedman Mineral Pool is a large therapeutic pool that is said to ease aches and pains due to the high mineral content. The pool is fed by an underground stream and is surrounded by shady grassed areas.

The popular pool has its origins in the flooding of the Barmedman goldmines by an underground stream. It now has a kiosk (open in summer), barbecues, and dressing sheds. Located within a four hectare reserve, it is said by some to have healing properties due to the high mineral content. There are two parks in the main street with picnic facilities and a bowling club.”
