Kangaroo Creek is a clear water stream that flows through a peaceful section of Royal National Park, where it winds between smooth sandstone, shaded bushland, and natural swimming holes, including Karloo Pool. As you follow the creek, you’ll pass rocky edges, tall eucalypts, and quieter pockets of forest that make it feel surprisingly secluded. Whether you stop for a swim or to enjoy the sound of the flowing water, it’s an ideal spot for a refreshing and scenic break in the middle of the bush.
