Karloo Pool, Royal National Park Tour Sydney
Karloo Pool is a freshwater pool located on Kangaroo Creek in the Royal National Park.
It takes around 40 minutes to walk down to the pool and little bit longer to return as the walk back is mostly uphill.
We visited Karloo Pool on a sunny February day. The sun brings out the best in the pool highlighting its clarity and emerald green colours.
Access to the pool is very easy as you wade in via some gently sloping rock ledges before hitting the deeper water.
The water temperature of the pool was fine for today’s visit and provided refreshing relief after the walk down to the pool from Heathcote Train Station.
A local goanna came out of the rocks to greet us or perhaps to share a dining experience. We did not indulge the goanna.
Kangaroo Creek offers many pools and a nearby pool provided a good reason for a second swim.
Karloo Pool is yet another delightful swimming spot in the Royal National Park and a lot of fun to visit.
