Mothar Mountain Rock Pools

A friend told JBV about the Mothar Mountain Rock pools a couple of weeks ago, and we've been meaning to get up there ever since. Only about "30 minutes" from Noosa she says. I've been to Mothar Mt speedway before, and was pretty sure the trip was going to be a little longer, but according to this woman, if we took the "shortcut" (an old dirt track in the 4WD) it was going to be a much quicker trip. An hour later, we finally pulled up at the Rock pools. We weren't worried, getting there was half the fun- the kids had never been on anything like the small, wooden, single lane bridges before! And then there was the big old Bull with huge horns standing on the side of the road (dirt track)- on the wrong side of the fence- just staring at us as we went around it. The kids thought it was going to charge us! (truth be known, I was a bit nervous myself! lol). Its a nice little spot, with picnic tables and a wood fired BBQ. We were told the place was always deserted- but remembering this was from the same mouth who told us it was a 20 to 30 minute trip- there were actually quite a lot of day trippers exploring the area! I guess our informant has told a lot of people about this "secluded" and "deserted" spot....! But the kids loved it! It was obviously way too cold for swimming (I reckon it'd still be way too cold for swimming in the middle of Summer) but we did some exploring, and had our little picnic before heading to the Gympie duck ponds...
