The water can become quite deep in areas, however, there are shallows spots perfect for the little ones to frolic and play, collecting pebbles or watching for small fish. Only accessible by 4WD. For your safety, Queensland National Parks advises to take care near waterholes, never dive or jump into the water and take care on wet and slippery rocks....
