Angourie-Blue Pool

A local attraction of note is the Blue and Green Pools, freshwater pools created when the old quarries hit underground springs. The story goes that the miners working on the quarries went home one night and came back the next morning to find the quarries filled with water. The pools are less than 20 metres from the ocean, and the two bodies of water are separated by mounds of quarried rock and earth.

Love the golden tones and reflections in this pond. I bet it makes a great swimming hole.

Have to say, this one looks more like it might be the Green Pool to me. ;-)
