It lies 240.4 km north-west of Tamworth, NSW (from Tamworth, NSW: bearing 325°T), and is situated 55.4 km south-east of Mungindi.

The air, especially in the late afternoon, carries a dry, earthy scent, warmed by the sun, and the silence is deep, broken only by the whisper of wind through the crops or the distant call of a bird. The streets of Moree are wide, reflecting the openness of the surrounding country, and the buildings, often single-storey and practical, seem to embrace the sun rather than resist it.
This is a place shaped by the bounty of its land, a centre for agriculture where cotton, wheat, and oilseeds are king, their growth sustained by the mighty Gwydir River and its tributaries that snake across the plains. The history of Moree is entwined with the pioneering spirit of those who worked this fertile ground, establishing a thriving economy built on hard work and the unpredictable generosity of the weather. The town is also famed for its artesian mineral waters, a natural wonder that draws travellers seeking the therapeutic warmth of the underground springs, offering a unique blend of rural life and restorative tourism. The rhythm of life in Moree is dictated by the seasons and the cycles of planting and harvest, a steady pulse that resonates through the community, a testament to the enduring connection between people and the productive earth.
