Hamilton Reserve

Categories: Nature

The Hamilton Reserve is a natural pool that appeared when the dome of an underground river collapsed under the influence of thousands of years of erosion. The pool is surrounded by huge limestone slabs that lie at the very edge of the water. From the ceiling above, huge stalactites grow. Hamilton Creek flows right over these limestone slabs, creating a 15-meter waterfall that falls straight into a steep canyon. The waterfall never dries up completely, but during periods of drought it becomes slower and shallower. However, the water level in the basin remains the same even during periods of drought.
