Little River, Buxton

The Little River  runs from near Hilltop down past Buxton and Thirlmere till it joins the Nattai River just short of the stored water of Lake Burragorang. This time I walked down to Aqua Pool from the road between Buxton and Balmoral. This section is part of Bargo State Recreation Area.

A  steep drop from the start down the firetrail with a few ups and downs first,leads to a crossing of a side creek..


and then on to the Little River.  Th river here is mostly very narrow with a few broader pools and runs over large rock bars of shelves. 





Aqua Pool at the turn around point of my walk. A deep pool and a good place for the local kids to cool off in on a hot day. 


A pleasant walk of 6klm return. There is a shorter track from Buxton which brings you straight to Aqua Pool. I will come here again and continue on down the river where I was told there are some nice boulder drops and pools .
