Features

Twin Bridges Picnic Area sits between Sailors Creek and the Midland Highway, and features two picnic tables and wood fire barbecues. 

A set of stepping stones crosses this picturesque section of the creek, where visitors will find a great swimming hole, a beautiful rocky outcrop over the water, a tunnel through the rock, and plenty of shade. 

Swimming at Twin Bridges


A beautiful spot for swimming, you'll find there are shallow areas for small children around the stepping stones and a deeper area over by the bend.

Hidden tunnel


If you cross the creek and head for the rocky outcrop, you'll discover the tunnel travelling through the rock to the other side where you can climb to the top and get a great view down over the creek. 

Be very careful climbing as this is a big drop and there is a risky part when you clamber up across the rock. 

Sailors Creek 


Sailors Creek usually flows until early-mid summer before drying up. A great way to check the water levels of the creek is to search for recent public posts on Instagram of Sailors Falls or The Blowhole

These are located along Sailors Creek (Sailors Falls is upstream and The Blowhole is downstream from here), and if they have plenty of water then there should be water here too.
