The Emerald Pool & Mount Olive - August 2024

The Emerald Pool is a beautiful spot to have a dip in the warmer months, the water is pristine, it's catchment is wholly within the National Park. Like last month, this run is in the Popran National Park. The pool is only accessible by walking. Close to the car park is Mt Olive, it is not really a mountain, just a slight prominence above the surrounding bush. Normally there is a view from the summit, with the Pacific Ocean visible, only limited views today owing to the misty rain, fortunately it wasn't cold.

No view today due to low cloud
