Roley Pool Reserve

Directions - Take Brookton Highway east from Armadale until you reach the turnoff for Thompson Road. Turn right and follow this down the hill until you reach the one way entry for Collins Road (first right). Keep going around the bend and park on the side of the road near the steps leading down to Roley Pool. There is an alternative car park along Thompson Road if you keep going and cross the river, along with another parking option on Soldiers Road before the traffic bridge.

The Hike - Roley Pool was a place I had heard of but had never fully investigated because my understanding of the place was that it was going to be a long drive for a very short walk. Heading out to tackle the Mount Dale Circuit and a small section of the Bibbulmun Track, I decided to stop in on my way home as I was heading right past it. Arriving at a pretty busy car park on a nice and sunny Makuru day, it appeared there was more than meets the eye with this one.
