Wide
Kalamina Gorge
, 24km from the visitor centre, has a small tranquil pool and falls
with easy access suitable for families. Joffre Falls Rd leads to stunning
Knox Gorge
, passing
the lookout over the spectacular
Joffre Falls
. Knox Gorge has several nice swimming holes,
fringed by native figs, while in
Joffre Gorge
the frigid pools are perennially shaded.
Weano Rd junction is 32km from the visitor centre, and the
Eco Retreat
is nearby. The fi-
nal 13km to the breathtaking
Oxers Lookout
can be rough, but it's worth it for the magnifi-
cent views of the junction of Red, Weano, Joffre and Hancock Gorges some 130m below.
A steep descent into
Hancock Gorge
(partly on ladders) will bring you first to the sunny
Amphitheatre
, then along the slippery
Spider Walk
to the sublime
Kermits Pool
. On the other
side of the car park, a rough track winds down to the surreal
Handrail Pool
in the bowels of
Weano Gorge
. Swimming in these pools is a magical experience, but obey all signs and
don't even think about entering a restricted area
