Fern Pool (Jubura)
Jubura
A deep-green pool ringed by ferns and fig trees, with a small waterfall spilling down. It is the best place in the park for a relaxing swim.
Known to the Banyjima people as Jubura, this fern pool is a sacred site for the Banyjima. It lies about 300 metres upstream of Fortescue Falls. The pool is surrounded by ferns, fig trees and white paperbarks, and a thin waterfall tumbles down the rock wall. Wooden platforms make it easy to get into the cool, deep water, and you can often spot flying foxes hanging from the trees. It is about a 20-minute walk down from the Fortescue Falls car park. Out of respect for the traditional custodians, please keep your voice down and do not shout or dive.
