13 Jan, Sat 8:00AM Kangaroo Creek

Mark G.
Swim | A trip that involves swimmingWalk | A bushwalk of any kind short or longPublic Transport | There are public transport options to and from this activity.(Fully Booked) Waterfall Station - Kangaroo Creek - Karloo Pools - Karloo Track - Heathcote Station. Kangaroo Creek is, in my opinion, the most beautiful and wild watercourse in the Royal National Park and is blessed with so many swimmable pools that it makes a perfect walk to do in summer. I plan to swim in a number of these and the hotter it is, the more swimming I'll be doing as we make our way down to Karloo Pool. Rock hopping along the creek on a rough track.
