Buchan - The Bluff Waterhole
Located just 1km north of the town centre, an impressive rock face towers above the Buchan River as crystal clear mountain water runs over a stone base.
Under the rockface there is a sharp bend in the river edged by a stand of plane trees.
There are no facilities here but you can drive right up to the river's edge.
The river below the bluff is the local swimming hole. The river is deep at the sharp bend in front of the plane trees, or shallower waters can be found around the pebbly river island just downstream of the bend. It's also possible to lilo or raft between the bluff and the swing bridge, near town.
While the river may become unswimmable during times of drought or after flooding, water flow is usually good here.
