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 .
