All About

Yarrangobilly Caves Thermal Pool Walk

Highlights

Yarrangobilly Caves’ thermal pool is fed by a natural spring. Accessible via a short walk, enjoy birdwatching en route before swimming in natural surroundings, near Tumut and Talbingo. The pool is permanently heated to 27 degrees by a natural spring. Measuring about 20 metres long and 2.5 metres deep, the main pool gently overflows like a waterfall into a children’s wading pool.

In winter, it’s magical to float in the warmth, watching the steam rise from the surface of the water, with snow blanketing the ground around you. There’s a picnic area adjacent to the pool, as well as change rooms and toilets.
