All About

Caroline Pool

Highlights

Caroline Pool is a picturesque natural waterhole amidst a tranquil setting which is great for a refreshing swim. Take advantage of the pleasant surroundings to enjoy a swim in the cool clear waters and enjoy a picnic on the shore. Situated a five minute drive from Old Halls Creek, the pool was the town’s main recreational site up until the town site moved to its current location in the 1950s. Many Halls Creek locals still frequent the swimming spot.

Located on the Black Elvire River ten minutes drive from Halls Creek, Caroline Pool is an ideal location during the wet season and early into the dry season to relax and take a break on the long drive from Broome to Kununurra. Later in the dry season the pool can dry up. Halls Creek is a four hour drive south of Kununurra. Kununurra is a three hour flight north of Perth.
