Ikoymarrwa Rock Pool (Moline Rockhole)Listen
“Keep an eye out for the small pull-off for Ikoymarrwa Rock Pool, also known as Moline Rockhole. This is a real hideaway spot—a small, deep swimming hole that's usually much quieter than the big waterfalls.”

Hiking Ikoymarrwa (Moline Rockhole) Walk
What to expectThis is a very short, easy out-and-back from a small 4WD carpark to Lower Ikoymarrwa Falls,…
This is a very short, easy out-and-back from a small 4WD carpark to Lower Ikoymarrwa Falls, also known as Moline Rockhole. The footpath crosses a natural dirt-and-rock surface through shady eucalypt and pandanus country before reaching the freshwater plunge pool and small cascade.
Plan on about 0.15 miles (0.24 km) round trip and roughly 15 minutes of walking, with extra time if you swim or snorkel. The stored line follows the physical corridor once from the carpark to the rockhole; the published distance is the full out-and-back a visitor walks.
Access and facilitiesThe turnoff is unmarked and the access track requires a high-clearance 4WD.
The turnoff is unmarked and the access track requires a high-clearance 4WD. Access to Ikoymarrwa is by permit only, including through approved tour operators. The small carpark has limited space, picnic tables and fireplaces, but no toilets or bins; bring water and pack out all rubbish.
