The Great Artesian Basin is a vast and deep groundwater basin in Australia. It underlies about 22% of the continent, including most of Queensland, the north-eastern part of South Australia, the south-eastern part of the Northern Territory, and the north-western part of New South Wales.

While the basin spans across several states and territories, the largest portion by area is located within the state of Queensland.

The Great Artesian Basin is the largest and deepest artesian basin in the world. It is a crucial water source for arid and semi-arid inland areas of Australia, supporting pastoral activities, mining, and communities. Artesian groundwater is water that rises to the surface under its own pressure.
