About this place
The area on the west side of the pool is believed to be a Whajuk camping place. They say the Waugal took a wrong turn at this part of the river and had to squeeze through a crack in the range, before stopping and vomiting out the stones they used for tool making. Today the Walyunga Pool is a pleasant place to rest in the shade of the flooded gums and enjoy the peace of the river.
