Macquarie Pass Travel Guide

Wollongong

This is a leasurely track to do. 

Bring a tripod no matter if its a bright sunny day. You're in full shadow and you will need it for a quality shot. 

Also bring a second pair of shoes, rocks are tricky and I have no doubt there will be some wet socks, speaking from experience

Once you're in the national park, keep walking towards the highlands. About 4 ks up, you'll encounter this magical little waterhole. Wonderful spot to walk in.
