Kununnurra, aptly named "meeting of big waters" in the Aboriginal language, offers a plethora of aquatic adventures. But nestled amidst the more well-known swimming spots lies a hidden gem – Molly Springs. This local favourite awaits those seeking a refreshing escape, stunning scenery, and a chance to experience the true beauty of the Kimberley.

The serene escape of the spring-fed Molly Springs is a favourite among locals, attracting not just humans but also playful fish, sunbathing goannas, and a symphony of birds. Unlike other swimming holes like Middle Springs or Black Rock Falls, Molly Springs does not rely on seasonal rains due to the vast underground pool of water, an ancient aquifer millions of years in the making. Take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear water, surrounded by towering red cliffs and lush vegetation.

​The best part? You don't need a special off-road vehicle to reach this hidden paradise. Accessible by a regular two-wheel drive vehicle, Molly Springs is just a short drive away.
