Hovea Falls and National Park Falls
Hovea Falls and National Park Falls were the two main waterfall attractions in the John Forrest National Park in the eastern suburbs of Perth. Hovea Falls was a sliding type waterfall…
Fernhook Falls
Fernhook Falls was supposed to be a very wide waterfall, which you might get a sense of from looking at the span of the road bridge in the photos on this page. Instead, we were only able to see…
Beedelup Falls
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…
Lane-Poole Falls
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
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…
Lesmurdie Falls
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
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
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
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
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…
Mitchell Falls
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
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…
Gunlom Falls
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…
Jim Jim Falls
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…
Twin Falls
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
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 (Leilyn)
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
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
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…
Wangi Falls
Wangi Falls (“Wangi” rhymes with “wrong guy”) was an attractive set of dual waterfalls sitting at the far western end of Litchfield National Park. In the state that Julie and I saw the falls…
