Walk to Blue Pool - Glenbrook

A recent planned bushwalk to
Red Hands Cave was stymied by a road closure due to flooding at the causeway, so we took a scenic detour to
Blue Pool . Having not been there before, we didn't have swimming costumes and towels with us but will certainly bring them on a return visit!
The walk is relatively easy but has many steps as it goes down from the carpark. The 0.5km return trip should take 15 - 30 minutes and would be an enjoyable walk for adventurous children who love scrambling over rocks to find their own way. There is not much signage but it is not really needed as you just follow the steps down until you reach the edge of the pool.
The scenic swimming hole was much more peaceful than the nearby popular
Jellybean Pool . The water was clean and cool with a sandy edge. There were also plenty of rocks that you could sit on in order to dangle your feet in the water.
Care needs to taken when swimming as there are no lifesavers at hand. Make sure you bring plenty of water and food if you plan on staying to enjoy a picnic by the pool and be aware the closest toilet facilities are up the hill at the
Glenbrook NPWS information centre.
Take a walk to Blue Pool to enjoy the beauty of a natural swimming hole.
