There is a very large natural pool there with a spring fed water fall that flows into it. It is a great place to swim and if you feel energetic you can swim over to the waterfall although it is a long way.
The pool is flanked by huge cliffs and palms hug the edges.
There are lots of birds here and each site has a grassed area for you to spread out on so it was relaxing to sit out and read. We had at least 6 different species of birds around our campsite.
The next day we went for a walk to upper pool were you climb up and up with a good view to the surrounding countryside. Then you discover another waterfall and a lovely rock pool.
It is so refreshing to plunge into the cold water after the walk. I managed to swim nearly over to the waterfall but it was too strong to get under it.
After the swim you continue the loop walk. You had to make a steep ascent and walk through some undulating country and you gradually descent to the main camping area. It’s amazing how many wild flowers you see on the bushes if you look carefully.
Some of them are very tiny and delicate and I saw many varieties.
You end the walk by crossing over a pristine creek which is actually the outlet from the lower pool.
That evening we had a slide show in the picnic area that was presented by the ranger. He explained how they have to check the area out for at least a month for salt water crocs which can come in the wet when the water levels get very high. He also said there are six resident fresh water crocs in the swimming area but they are not really a threat and live up the creek and only come into the pool at night to feed.
We loved this place so much that we stayed an extra day.
