Sixth Finch - Fall 2025 - Christopher Shipman - TRUE STORY

This great swimming hole is only a 20 minute drive away. It's great to get there with friends, an Maron. On weekends and after school lets out a lot of people come, but it's nice and quiet at other times. It was too hot to just lay around enjoying nice and quiet though so there was some cannonball practice. But the splashing or noise or deep water must make Maron anxious. No one was there so I let her off the leash to better chase frogs and bugs. She great for keeping the big biting flies away. But she disappeared!! She was gone for so long I decided to try driving around to find her. There she was curled up under the car waiting to go home, excited about getting back into the car! It took a while to convince her that it's much more pleasant by the stream under the forest canopy. But hopefully she's used to it by now. Later one of her 5yo people buddies came and that helped her relax during the cannonball splash attempts..

There weren't many other people there - only two small groups - and it felt pretty secluded and like you were part of a small secret club.

The case of the Bellingen's scenic swimming hole
Bellingen just smashed in a "$5.2M “gate way to the Promised Land” so that mass tourism can speed along the new 'highway' (Gleniffer Road) to the Never Never Creek. It is the town's main 'tourist destination' (but has no public toilet).

In January the Promised Land swimming hole near Bellingen recorded faecal contamination of water. "Council advised swimmers to stay out of the Never Never River.” Humans and dogs were blamed for the faecal matter. "It has been very popular over the holiday period and there are certainly indications that people have been using the riparian area there along the banks for toileting purposes”
