Tips

March 9, 2026

Karloo Pool is often noted as one of the best natural swimming holes in the Sydney area. The pool stretches about 20 metres long and 10 metres wide, and can reach up to 3 metres deep. There is a shallow rock ledge along the edges of the pool, which makes getting into the water fairly easy. On a hot day, the pools can get quite busy, and the water is famously clear.
