Pool of Siloam - Lyrebird Dell - Loop walk

2km: The Pool of Siloam and Lyrebird Dell walking track is a wonderful loop walk in Leura. We recommend walking down to the Pool of Siloam and then around to Lyrebird Dell and then up to the Lone Pine Avenue entrance as the walk back out from the Pool of Siloam is very steep. The Pool of Siloam is a wonderful waterhole and waterfall on Gordon Creek. The Lyrebird Dell walking track offers Aboriginal heritage, waterfalls, caves with birdwatching and picnicking. At Lyrebird Dell, there is a sandstone cave that provides shelter for a lovely picnic area. There is also a waterfall next to the cave. The cave was used as an Aboriginal shelter at least 12,000 years ago. Follow the signs and return to the Gordon Falls Reserve.
