Burlong Pool[1] is a section of the Avon River in Western Australia between Spencers Brook and Northam.
[12][13] Burlong Pool was owned by the Western Australian Government Railways.
It was leased by the Australian Army during World War II.
Many bridge parts and tools are believed to lie on the bottom of the pool.
[14] A rock river crossing allowed access from the rear of the Northam Army Camp to Burlong and Spencers Brook Roads.
