The Blinman Pools walk follows the rocky creek beds of Blinman and Parachilna Creeks. You can admire beautiful cliffs, rock pools, small waterfalls, whilst you zigzag your way along the creek dry bed.
The First Pool is after 5 km and the Second Pool after 6 km. The first pool is filled with water, nearly all year around. The second pool can be low of water in summer.
Interesting facts:
In 1927 a hostel was set up for returned soldiers with tuberculosis at Angorichina Village.
The Blinman Pools name comes after Robert Pegleg Blinman, who was a shepherd at Angorichina Station until 1859. He discovered copper and became a miner.
