About Rocky Hole

Rocky Hole is a natural attraction situated in Mount Archer within the northern section of D'Aguilar National Park. The site features a series of freshwater pools carved into the rocks, accompanied by a small waterfall that flows after periods of rainfall. Access to the water requires a short walk from the designated parking area through dry sclerophyll forest. Visitors often use the site for swimming and picnicking in a remote bushland setting. The location is reachable via unsealed roads, making it suitable for vehicles with adequate ground clearance. Situated near Somerset Dam, this destination offers a cooler alternative to coastal beaches during the summer months.
