Blue Lake River Walk

From the Grand Arch walk alongside the Blue Lake, where you might see a platypus! Beyond the reservoir wall a bridge takes you across the rive and back along the other side of the lake under the 1896 De Burghs bridge then back to the Grand Arch.

Getting there

Unfortunately no public transport to this location.  Drive Jenolan Caves Dr until you reach Jenolan Caves.  Drive through the Grand Arch into the car park for parking.  Head back to the entrance, once back outside you see a sign to the walk.

I originally thought photos of this lake were photoshopped but it is truly this blue (it looks the most vivid on a clear day). Has to be seen to be believed.
