"Roll on, deep and dark blue ocean, roll. Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain. Man marks the earth with ruin, but his control stops with the shore"-
Lord Byron
After a week of rain, Cousteau could not pass up the a sunny opportunity to visit Macallum Pool at Cremorne Point. This enclosure is yet another
little harbour side treasure, only a brief walk from transport (Bus and
Ferry) at Cremorne wharf. The views of the Sydney harbour and the city are stunning on
the main walkway, however the pool is neatly tucked under a cliff in a secluded spot
in a bushland setting. The Macallum pool was rather famously opened in 1938 by Joan Sutherland.... a long time resident of Cremorne point.
On this Sunday March the 3rd, the
pool water was not the freshest after the heavy rain and the concrete
bottom was a little slimy, but that said, the water temp was about 21c and
the water refreshing. All in all a very peaceful swim was had by a solitary member of the Splosh,
in the well kept narrow 30 metre pool. There was a sign up by the
council to note the pool would be closed Tuesday for cleaning, when I'm sure it will be back to its normal sparkle:)
Splosh Rating 3***.and a half ..for the lovely surroundings and unique setting.
