Boulder Creek is a swimming hole on a rocky creek north west of Mackay. The water is crystal clear and you can drink straight out of the creek it is so clean. The pool is shaded beneath rainforest. There is a free campground by the road and a toilet. It’s becoming a pretty popular spot for travellers. The swimming hole is about 100m downstream from the causeway.

Hi Jim, The free camping area was closed a while ago unfortunately. The small swimming hole downstream was still good for swimming the last time I checked!
