| ROCKY POOL |
A delightful bush camping spot with a fresh water pool in one of few places along the Gascoyne River which holds water long after the river ceases to flow. Beautiful outback landscape with gum trees along the river bank. Kangeroos do bounce by at dawn and dusk and the bird life is outstanding. There are no facilities so you need to be totally self contained, be sure to take plenty of fresh water with you.
Location Carnarvon Mullewa Road
Bring your swag, tent and barbeque at least. The track from the main road is maintained and suitable for two wheel drive use. You should not have any trouble driving in with a caravan but do take it slowly and carefully. If it has been raining prior to your trip, the road could be damaged so take notice of any warning signage.
Be sure to keep a watch for emu's, goats, kangeroos and road trains. Approach with caution.
If there has been no rain for some months, the water in the pool may not be suitable for swimming.
Directions: Approximately 40 kilometres east of Carnarvon along the Carnarvon Mullewa Road to Gascoyne Junction you will encounter a sign to turn left to Rocky Pool. The road from Carnarvon to the turn off is sealed except for a couple of kilometres at the junction of North West Coastal Highway.
