The frothy foam actually gets stained by the eucalypt leaves in
the water and looks like a topping on a cappuccino.
This is a wonderful place to explore which has easy access via
the wonderful boardwalks. This makes visiting Circular Pool easy
and fun for all ages.
Circular Pool is a beautiful, tranquil place for the whole family.
Very well presented, access to the pools is easy, via steps or a
paved winding pathway. The walk is beautiful and well kept with
two viewing platforms overlooking the river and pools. Perfect for
children and elders alike.
The name circular pool derives not from the shape
of the two pools, but by the currents which flow in circles, creating
moving circular patterns with the foam they create.
