Track Notes

Turn map	Directions & comments
	Start. Find the Python Pool Car Park at the start. Find the picnic table at the start. Find the toilet at the start.
	After another 80 m continue straight. After another 105 m come to "Python Pool". Python Pool Python Pool Python Pool is a beautiful seasonal freshwater pool surrounded by sheer red rock walls, and is a great place to enjoy whether you are stopping by to admire the scenery or staying a little longer for a swim. The day-use area is only a couple of hundred metres from the pool and has picnic tables, BBQ's and toilet facilities. The short trail to Python Pool takes you into the gorge, revealing the spectacular pool with the rugged red cliffs behind it. An ephemeral waterfall flows through the split in the middle of the rocks during the wet summer season. Although the waterhole is seasonal, it usually has water all year round. During the dry season when there is little water flow, Python Pool can suffer from algae blooms. During the wet season, you need to be careful of debris and strong currents after rain. + - Python Pool is a beautiful seasonal freshwater pool surrounded by sheer red rock walls, and is a great place to enjoy whether you are stopping by to admire the scenery or staying a little longer for a swim.
