Travelers Seek Out Hidden Waterfall Pool in Australia

Woy Woy Waterfall Pool is a (not-so) secret hidden man-made pool that lies within the heart of the Brisbane Water National Park, located approximately 85km north of Sydney, Australia. On social media, you’ll find hundreds if not thousands of videos and photos of people enjoying the scenic man-made pool.

“I’ve lived in Woy Woy for years and never knew this place even existed,” said one local in response to an online post.

Travelers thinking about visiting the local attraction have been warned to be especially careful near the pool’s narrow ledge.

“This is a dangerous area, so please take precautions. We’ve already had one visitor recently fall and require medical evacuation by helicopter ” one person responded.

Locals Caution Travelers

While travelers from all over enjoy swimming in the man-made pool, some locals have cautioned visitors that the water may not be as safe as they think.

“The water is from a nearby waste management facility, definitely be careful putting your head underwater,” one person responded.

“When you realize that it’s a sewage outlet,” another commented.

“Nice spot, but don’t swim in it after rains as (the pool is) linked to runoff and has lots of fecal coliforms,” a third person said.

According to Daily Mail, a waste management facility that uses the same waterway as Woy Woy Falls is located a short distance away.
