✅ What to expect & general info
The pool is tucked deep in the bush: you’ll drive out of Woy Woy along Woy Woy Road, park near the gate for the Tunnel Fire Trail, then walk to the waterfall/pool.
The walk is about 5.4 km round trip (flat in many parts) but the final section is narrow, bush-track and can get slippery.
The “infinity pool” is actually a quite shallow man-made pool/trough under a waterfall. It looks spectacular, but it’s not deep and has some drop-offs/ledges around it.
⚠️ Safety & suitability (especially for kids)
Not very suited for young children: there are narrow ledges, steep drop-offs and slippery rock sections. One guide says “not suitable for little children at all.”
Water quality concerns: because of nearby waste management/run-off, locals advise not to submerge your head or swim after heavy rain.
Trail conditions: Final bush section can be muddy, narrow and has a scramble/steep rock. After rain conditions worsen.
🅿️ Parking & access
Parking is very limited: At the trailhead (Tunnel Fire Trail entrance) there’s space for under ~10 cars (some sources say ~6 cars). Arrive early.
There is no cost mentioned for parking (free car-park at trailhead) in available sources. But “space limited” is the key.
No major formal facilities: you should plan accordingly (water, snacks, toilets etc) before you head out.
🧑🤝🧑 Cultural / heritage significance
The area is within Brisbane Water National Park and has bushland and natural heritage value.
Nearby you can find Aboriginal engravings (for example the Bulgandry Aboriginal engraving site) along the trails in this region.
However, the pool itself appears to be man-made (the trough) and there is no clear documented cultural site at the pool itself in the sources. It’s more a natural/bush adventure spot rather than a recognized cultural monument.
🎒 What PPE / gear / wear & bring
Footwear: Good shoes with grip. The trail is mostly flat until the last section, but rock and narrow track sections require decent footing.
Clothing: Wear clothes you don’t mind getting a bit dirty. Long pants may help if leeches are present (especially after rain) and insect repellent is a good idea.
Swimming gear: Bring swimmers and towel if you intend to dip. But note the pool is shallow and not a large swim area.
Water and snacks: The walk may be short but you’ll want water and maybe snacks. Sun protection (hat, sunscreen) is good because parts of the trail and pool get sun.
Care: At the pool spot the ledge is narrow and the drop is steep — avoid standing too near edges, especially with children.
