The journey to Gwongoorool Pool begins at the trailhead in the Binna Burra lower day-use area. Descend a series of steep rock steps, around 200 in total, as you make your way through open forests and lush rainforests. Along the way, marvel at the cliffs of volcanic ash and feel the serenity of the Coomera River, which leads you to the picturesque Gwongoorool—a large pool that invites you to relax and unwind.
The Coomera River, along with Lamington's other waterways, serves as a vital habitat for various wildlife, including hylid frogs, eastern water dragons, freshwater crayfish, and eels. Please be cautious as the eels in this river can bite when threatened. As you make your way back, you'll retrace your steps along the same track, ensuring a safe and enjoyable journey.
