This was established as a swimming area in 1964. In earlier years a swimming area was established on the opposite side of the river but it became too congested and busy, so a group of people graduated to what became known as the Swimming Beach. There was an attempt to remove the old dead tree, probably a ghost gum, but without success. It has become a focal point of the swimming area. People climb the tree and swing from a rope attached to one of its branches and 'bomb' into the water.
The bank of Ord River, with an old, long dead gum tree 20 - 30 metres from shore, make up the well known swimming beach. The bank is grassy and is well maintained. A parking area, barbeque and toilet facilities are maintained by the Shire. A boat ramp is adjacent.
