At the heart of the Tahmoor Gorge is the beautiful but potentially dangerous Mermaid Pool. Sandstone walls and a waterfall surround this deep swimming hole. Many cliff-jumping accidents and persistently strong currents create a strong warning not to jump from the cliffs or swing from the ropes. Aboriginal communities hold this body of water with spiritual importance.
