A wet August day walk. (Lesmurdie Falls)
I read about the falls on this site after searching online for things to do in WA, my 15 year old was over from the UK and I wanted to show her the sights. I can recommend tackling the falls from the bottom as this was a pleasant walk (even though it rained on and […]
I wrote all about this “secret waterfall”

King George Falls are Awesome!
I’m a cameraman for a fishing show and on a charter through the Kimberly we stopped over at King George Falls during the dry season. The boat ride up King George River from the coast was incredible! The red cliffs were like nothing I’ve ever seen before anywhere in Australia! We got our boat right […]
Lesmurdie Falls
Back in 1965 I was living in Perth – now live in England – and I used to go to Lesmurdie Falls a few times. The photo is of me, Graham Blissett, and Mrs Jefferies whose house I stayed at in Queens Park for three years. As you can see, the falls were in full […]
Beedelup Falls
Aside from the attractive waterfall, Beedelup Falls has great boardwalks, a radio broadcast, a suspension bridge and decent walkways. One of the more developed national parks, a bit of money has obviously been spent on jazzing it up a bit. Well and truly worth a visit, just to see what can be done. Also quite […]

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…

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…
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…
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…
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…
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..
