Visits
- 2023-04-16: We woke up super early, and in doing so, we were able to claim the famous Fern Pool to ourselves. We walked out of there when the next group of people arrived, it seemed like the kind of place that could be overrun with screaming children. Then we drove over to the other side of the park where there were some really spectacular gorges full of refreshing water.
