Devil's Pool, Australia

Devil's Pool contains deep granite formations within Babinda Creek, where three mountain streams converge to form powerful water currents through narrow passages.

Since 1959, Devil's Pool has recorded twenty-one fatal drowning incidents, leading authorities to implement strict safety measures and designate restricted zones.

The Yidinji people tell of Oolana, a young woman who ended her life in these waters after being separated from Dyga, her lover from another tribe.

Visitors must remain within designated swimming areas and stay on marked paths, as the water flow through underwater rock formations creates dangerous conditions.

The pool's water patterns create a phenomenon locals call the Washing Machine, where strong currents form powerful whirlpools between submerged boulders.
