Statement of Significance
Kalgans Pool has aesthetic and social significance. It is an attractive popular natural waterhole that never dries up. It is visited by tourists and local people alike for swimming and picnicking. The large gum tree on the banks of the river/waterhole supports a rope for swinging into the water. There use to be a flying fox across the water but this is no longer there (disappeared in 1996). This is one of a number of waterholes in the district. Others include Eagle Rock, Stuart Pool, Three Pools and Poonda.
Physical Description
Kalgans Pool is located at the end of a meandering 4WD track that leads into the Opthalmia Range. The pool is formed at the bottom of a rich red cliff that dominates the scene. The pool never dries up and nobody knows how deep it is. The pool has waterfalls feeding it during the wet season. The pool is also fed by Kalgans Creek/River. There is a swimming 'tarzan' rope over the pool.
