Hiking

It’s a nice walk from the car park via the lookout. The last section down to the Onkaparinga river is quite steep but well worth it. To overseas visitors: the water looks dirty as everywhere here, but it’s safe to have a swim. So bring your swimmers!

Hiking

Great spot for a swim, fairly challenging hike to get to it but worth it. Looking up at the cliffs from the pool is awesome.
