Fern Pool or Jubura is the last of the major landmarks hidden in Dales Gorge. The trail that leads from Fortescue Falls is surrounded by relictual riparian vegetation, reminding the hiker of the humid and tropical climate that once occurred in the Pilbara. Ferns colour the surroundings a lush green while fig trees or Winyarrangu (Ficus brachypoda) slowly strangle the rocks that support them.
After a strenuous hike, Fern Pool offers a rewarding swim to some or a peaceful oasis to others, while the noisy Flying Foxes or Warramurungga (Pteropus alecto) have made it their favourite hangout.

It’s very peaceful Janet, the rest of the world seems so far away. Just the water though – bloody cold!
Wow, great photo of the bats! Looks like a very peaceful place 🙂
Thank Jenny! Very peaceful indeed when sitting in the shade of those beautiful fig trees – paradise.
Beautiful place!
