A walk to Paradise

[FatCanyoner]

Hey folks,
This isn't the kind of trip report I'd usually post, but it is an amazing spot if you are looking for an easy, kid friendly walk away from the hoards. Best of all it is to a most spectacular Blue Mountains swimming hole. The water is clean, the beach sandy, the waterfall pretty, and the water jumps (for the more adventurous) are awesome.

I'm trying to squeeze some easy half-day walks and canyons in on weekdays this summer, as I am working nights, so this spot may get another visit.
The other benefit is that my wife ended up in hospital a few weeks back, and was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, so this was her first bushwalk since then. It is less than half an hour each way, so it isn't too strenuous, and she kept her sugar levels perfect, so hopefully it will provide her with the confidence to walk slightly further next time.

Hi Tim,

any chance of a map & grid reference, looks like a good place to take my young bloke!

Mark,
It is a top place to take kids. I have had one as young as four or five walk down there without trouble.
Grid ref on the new series Katoomba map is 673667. Walk in from Caleys Repulse (marked on the map). In fact, from Google Maps you can see most of the track as it runs down the spur into the creek. You can also see the beach and pool of Paradise if you look closely: http://g.co/maps/68fas
Enjoy.
