Beedelup Falls was perhaps the one waterfall in the southwest of Australia where we saw somewhat satisfactory flow during our June 2006 visit to the area. Perhaps the main reason for its revival…

When Julie and I think of Lane-Poole Falls, what comes to mind was a very relaxing experience punctuated with tall karri trees, a relatively easy hike, and a pleasant 10m waterfall at the end of…

Quinninup Falls was an ocean-facing 10m waterfall tumbling onto a sandy beach near the Cape-to-Cape Trail in the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park. As you can see from the photos on this page…

While my thoughts were on the task ahead as we had planned to see at least three waterfalls around the city’s suburbs, I increased the cruise control to 100km/h. Suddenly…

Lesmurdie Falls was probably the closest waterfall that we saw to the city of Perth. Actually, it was in one of the more immediate outskirts of the city, and we had a little bit of trouble finding…

Serpentine Falls was an interesting twisting waterfall that seemed to be true to its name. Of all the waterfalls in the greater Perth area (including its suburbs), this one seemed to have…

Fortescue Falls seemed to Julie and I to be a tropical oasis in the middle of the remote and unforgiving desert-like Pilbara Region. What made this oasis so picturesque in our minds was the…

Joffre Falls was an attractively tall seasonal waterfall tumbling into a natural amphitheater at the head of the red-cliffed Joffre Gorge. Like the other waterfalls of Karijini National Park…

Kalamina Falls was a tiny seasonal waterfall sitting at the head of the Kalamina Gorge in Karijini National park. I recalled that the falls itself tok us only a brief 5-minute walk from the car…

Still, we didn’t know what it was nor did we know if it was life threatening. So once we got into the visitor center, Julie asked the Aboriginal woman behind the cashier if she had ever seen…

Mitchell Falls was a very beautiful four-tiered waterfall that we thought truly embodied the beauty and rugged character of the Australian Outback in the remote Kimberley Region of Western Australia..

King George Falls was a very remote dual waterfall that we happened to see as part of the larger Mitchell Falls Explorer day tour. We made it a point to see this waterfall given the lure of its…

As the helicopter landed, Julie and I gave each other a very confused and puzzled look. We weren’t sure what had happened, but the sinking feeling of being ripped off and not being able to see…

Jim Jim Falls (Aboriginal name Barrkmalam) was in our minds the Northern Territory’s (let alone Kakadu National Park’s) most spectacular waterfall. It was said to plunge about 200m off the…

Gunlom Falls seemed to us like the quintessential Australian Outback waterfall complete with a 30m drop into a very wide plunge pool that was free of Saltwater Crocodiles. Fringing this big plunge…

Twin Falls was another gorgeous series of waterfalls that tumbled about 180m from its escarpment into the shadowy depths below. Contrasting the neighboring Jim Jim Falls, this waterfall didn’t…

Double Falls was a bit of a waterfall surprise for us as it ended up being included as part of our air tour over both Twin Falls. It was an attractive two-tiered waterfall that drained into the…

Edith Falls, which also was known by its Aboriginal name Leilyn, was a series of waterfalls that seemed to us to be really more of a giant swimming hole than waterfall attraction. However, as I say…

Florence Falls was probably our favorite waterfall in Litchfield National Park. What made this waterfall stand out to Julie and I was its multi-tiered multi-segmented shape with a crocodile-free…

Tolmer Falls was definitely one of the taller waterfalls we encountered while touring Litchfield National Park. However, unlike the other waterfalls we saw in the park, it didn’t seem like access…
