Kimberley in 2004

Was it the
waterhole where the Japanese businessman drowned in the move The Japanese Story starring Toni Collette, 2003?
Don't know the name of the
waterhole, but if the above is correct it might be a clue for someone else.

G'day
Explorers
Yes it's Kalgan
Pool and yes it featured in the movie starring Toni Collette and Gotaro Tsunashima, back in 2003, Sadly for Kalgan
Pool it has suffered badly since the dewatering of the aquifer under/near to the Hope Downs iron ore
mine was allowed to go ahead in 2014.
All of the once beautiful
waterholes in the
Newman Waterhole Circuit have been adversely affected, these being Kalgan
Pool,
Thunder Gorge,
Eagle Rock Pool/Falls and
Three Pools.
There's oodles of crystal clear
water being pumped into Kalgan
Creek about 1.2k's down stream of Kalgan
Pool which has created a whole new scenario, some folk say it's fantastic and some folk don't but mostly no one gives a 'rats' apparently.
I don't wish to make this a political thing, but it's a reality ~ like it or not.
If anyone is truly interested, I'm happy to show you through my images.
Safe travels : Joe

Yep, Gbc, it certainly is. It's the new , less interesting showers that they have installed.
The showers used to be an open-air affair for the shearers, just elevated lines of piping with some shower heads. Lovely hot
water was gravity fed from an elevated
water tank, which in turn was filled with
water pumped from the
waterhole.
Very dry last time we were there.

We were at
Currawinya early October last year, certainly was very dry there then. I have watched YouTube video of someone there this year and there was plenty of
water about, a much nicer looking place for them then it was for us with
water for them to
camp beside.
As soon as I saw that
pic just now I thought of
Currawinya
