A fantastic spot for a swim in the gorgeous confluence of two streams . Crystal clear cool waters. Prefect spot for young and old 7 kms outside of Tully. No camping - day use only if you like Babinda Boulders swim spot, then Alligators Nest is comparable Named after local scout group

Hi, I thought it best to start a new topic to keep advice related to my specific requirements, not that this is unusual but it's just less confusing.
