Yes it's Kalgan
Pool and yes it featured in the movie starring Toni Collette and Gotaro Tsunashima, back in 2003, Sadly for Kalgan
Pool it has suffered badly since the dewatering of the aquifer under/near to the Hope Downs iron ore
mine was allowed to go ahead in 2014.
All of the once beautiful waterholes in the
Newman Waterhole Circuit have been adversely affected, these being Kalgan
Pool,
Thunder Gorge, Eagle
Rock Pool/Falls and
Three Pools.
There's oodles of crystal clear water being pumped into Kalgan Creek about 1.2k's down stream of Kalgan
Pool which has created a whole new scenario, some folk say it's fantastic and some folk don't but mostly no one gives a 'rats' apparently.
I don't wish to make this a political thing, but it's a reality ~ like it or not.
If anyone is truly interested, I'm happy to show you through my images.
Safe travels : Joe
