Tocumwal Blowhole

The blowhole is a deep hole on a granite outcrop only 5kms from our farm. 
Unlike coastal blowholes it doesn’t blow out water but it has been known to gurgle and bubble at certain times of the year.  

Local Indigenous, the Ulupna and Bangarang people, believed the blowhole was connected to the Murray River, 10kms away, by an underground stream through which a native spirit would travel.

  2. Quite plausible that the blowhole is connected to the Murray. Perhaps when the Murray is in flood (will that ever happen again?) the blowhole might gurgle.

  3. I hadn't heard of the Tocumwal Blowhole. I do hope that it gurgles and bubbles again soon.

  5. Another clever capture. A perfect hole in igneous rock. I wonder what occurred when the magna was cooling to lead to this formation.

  6. That's interesting. Seems that it could also be a danger, should animals or people get too close.
