Thermal Pool Walk

This return walk in Yarrangobilly area in Kosciuszko National Park takes you from the end of Thermal Pool Trail Road to the pools surrounded by nature and heated to 27ºC by a natural spring. Let us begin by acknowledging the Wiradjuri people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
