Nellies Glen picnic area

Nellies Glen is the hidden gem of this area. About 150 meters from the car park, this swimming hole and beautiful waterfall is much much nicer than the more popular Blue Pool and the actual Carrington Falls themselves. If you’re keen for a swim, definitely try here!!

Amazing swimming spot. Instead of the nellies glen falls, take the short walking track up past the falls and you’ll be greeted with a pristine swimming hole, which you’ll often have to yourself. One of the best spots in The Southern Highlands, and only a 10 minute walk from the car park.

A wonderful place to spend a good day with loved ones. Getting here is pretty easy. It is located in Robertson in southern highlands of NSW. It’s around 2 hour drive from Sydney. It has limited parking which can get filled easily during sunny days, weekends and school holidays. This place perfect to have some swimming time. The base of pool is uneven and gradually deepens from sides to the middle. Toilet service is available and is a bit stinky. No accessible for wheelchair. Anybody with limited swimming skill should be careful while swimming as no life guard service is available and phone service is pretty bad as the phone signal is pretty weak.

Parked at Nillies Glen parking and had a Child friendly walk to see the Carlington Falls. We walked across the Kangaroo River.
