Rockpool Ramble walk is a short 600m return walk from Boonoo Boonoo Falls picnic area. The first part of it follows Rockpools View walk. You can see and smell some of the lovely wildflowers in this national park before going down to the rockpools for a paddle.

Once at the river, you can have a refreshing swim if it is safe to do so. The views of the water and bushland are lovely, so bring your camera if you want to take photos. There are waterbirds here too, and you may even spot the endangered brush-tailed rock-wallaby sheltering under a rock overhang.

Afterwards, follow the Falls Lookout walk for a terrific view of Boonoo Boonoo Falls. For a longer leg stretch, take the River walk for more wildlife viewing and swimming.
