CP13. Blue Water Holes
Blue Water Holes Trail, Brindabella Range ACT, Australia
Website
Cooleman Plain is high up in the NSW Alps, in the northern part of Kosciuszko National Park. It’s a wide area of forest and grassland broken up by limestone cliffs and gorges, crystal clear creeks, the occasional hut, and the gem that is Blue Waterholes
This beautifully positioned campground is the perfect place to stay if you’re planning to hike the Clarke Gorge and Nichols Gorge walking tracks, and explore the nature and historic huts in the Northern Plains and Wilderness area of Kosciuszko National Park.
From the campsite there are lovely views of the limestone cliffs and rock formations of Clarke Gorge and Cave Creek. Wander down the short track to the turquoise waterhole that gives the campground its name. It's a great spot to paddle your feet and enjoy a picnic on a hot summer's day, as kangaroos cast a curious eye and eagles soar overhead.
Nearby campgrounds at Cooleman Mountain, Cooinbil and Long Plain offer alternative places to stay in the popular summer months.
