Jellybean Pool, Blue Mountains National Park, NSW
Description
A gorgeous natural pool at the base of the Blue Mountains, Jellybean Pool is one of the area’s most popular swimming spots. At just an hour out of the city and close to Penrith, the pool is easily accessible by car. But to feel as though you earned the swim, park a little earlier at the beginning of the Jellybean Track – a great 45min walk that ends right at the pool.
Starting at the Glenbrook entrance to the Blue Mountains National Park, the walk follows an easy track down the hill to Jellybean pool.
The walk takes you into the Glenbrook Gorge, passing mountain spotted gums and grass trees. Keep your eye out for kestrels and other birds of prey as they glide through the air looking for food. Watch for brilliantly coloured rainbow lorikeets or the cheeky gang gang with its distinctive call, like a rusty hinge.
Stairs lead down to the pretty Jellybean pool, flanked by sandstone cliffs. If you’ve worked up a sweat you won’t be able to resist a dip and the kids will love swimming and liloing in these calm waters. Roll out the picnic blanket on one of the sandy beaches or lie back in the shade of the gums and doze off to the sounds of the bush.
