\"Pool<\/a>

Pool of Siloam<\/p><\/div>\n

The Pool of Siloam is a wonderful waterhole and waterfall on Gordon Creek. The Lyrebird Dell walking track offers Aboriginal heritage, waterfalls, caves with birdwatching and picnicking.<\/p>\n

\n
At Lyrebird Dell there is a sandstone cave that provides shelter for a lovely picnic area. There is also a waterfall next to the cave. The cave was used as an Aboriginal shelter at least 12,000 years ago.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Follow the signs and return back to the Gordon Falls Reserve.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This waterfall is surrounded by moss and a fern-filled gully with sandstone cliffs around the edges. There is a sandstone overhang next to the waterfall. The shallow sandy pool is a lovely cool place, a great spot to stop for a snack. The track crosses the creek using a bridge in front of the waterfall.<\/p>\n

The pool derives its name from the Pool of Siloam (Birkhat Hashiloah \u2013 Hebrew) in the City of David and in the Bible is where Jesus sends a man to heal him of his blindness.<\/p>\n

Gordon Falls Reserve has electric BBQ\u2019s, toilets, children\u2019s play equipment, and picnic tables. There are a number of artificial cave shelters, with picnic tables inside. A great spot to enjoy a snack.<\/p>\n
