📸 WHAT TO EXPECT:
🚶🏼‍♀️Upon arrival at Woy Woy station, we will start our exciting adventure walking on local roads before heading towards the bushland and management trails up to Mt Wondabyne, the highest point in Brisbane Water NP for a photo stop with a great view.
🚶We will continue our adventure to Woy Woy Waterfall Pool, a picturesque (secret) spot in the bush.
🧗🏼‍♀️ The walk down to the pool is on a steep and narrow paths with rocks scrambling.
🏊‍♀️ The pool is a man-made at the base of the waterfall that was built either during the construction of the railway tunnel in the early 1880s or when the Woy Woy Basalt Quarry was running in the 1930s.
🚶After spending time and a swim (optional) at the pool, we will head down on a rough bush track with some bushbashing finding our way to the main road back to Woy Woy station.
