Blue Pool    

Take the Border Track, and about 250m along this you will find the track to Blue Pool; the track descends steadily (around 400m), so be ready for a bit of a climb on the way back!  

From Blue Pool you can either go back the way you came or follow the circuit track up Canungra Creek to circuit back to the Border Track via either Box Forest or Elabana Falls. 

Highlights:  
Blue Pool is a great place for a refreshing swim on a hot Summers day.  

Predominant Vegetation:  
Some very large rainforest trees can be seen along this track including some fine examples of Red Cedar; (few as large as these are left outside the park). Other notable plants include the Christmas Orchid; the flowers from this plant can be seen on the floor of the forest during late spring. A major plant community represented along this track is Warm Subtropical Rainforest.  

Key Animal Species:   
At Blue Pool itself, eels and Platypus may be seen.
