About Buley Rockhole
Buley Rockhole is a series of natural pools formed where Florence Creek steps down over rock ledges in Litchfield National Park. Water flows from one pool to another in small cascades, surrounded by pandanus and riverside forest.
Access is short and flat from the car park, which makes these pools one of the park’s most popular swimming spots. The pools vary in size and depth, and swimming is usually allowed in the dry season.
A trail along the creek links Buley Rockhole to Florence Falls, about an hour’s walk.
The area has picnic tables, toilets and a small campsite.
