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…
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…
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…
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…
Tjaetaba Falls
Tjaetaba Falls was an interesting waterfall that seemed to be one of the more obscure ones in Litchfield National Park. We saw this because most of the other waterfalls had dedicated car parks…
Robin Falls
Robin Falls was one of those obscure waterfalls that we weren’t aware of until we were combing through our very useful road atlas during our pre-trip research. When we learned that it was not far)…
Snoqualmie Falls
Snoqualmie Falls is easily the most popular and most visited waterfall in the state of Washington. We believe the adjectives spectacular and powerful should be thrown in there as well…
Twin Falls
Twin Falls seemingly felt like one of those locals only attractions that was charming in its own right, but lacked the notoriety and power of the nearby Snoqualmie Falls. When we first did this…
Wallace Falls
Wallace Falls was a very popular waterfalling excursion as it was well within reach of both Everett and Seattle. It was really a series of three major waterfalls on the Wallace River…
