Hovea Falls is one of two waterfalls nestled in the John Forrest National Park in the eastern suburbs of Perth.
It slides along a rocky bed on the Jane Brook. However, the falls was hardly flowing when we were there in June 2006. I think it's a rain-fed waterfall meaning it's more likely to have better flow much later in the Winter or Spring when Jane Brook has had a chance to accumulate more rainwater through the seasonal rains.
From the car park (see directions below), head east along the well-signed walk. It eventually passes an arched tressel bridge towards the top of the falls. After crossing over the top of the falls, I managed to scramble towards the base of the falls. None of these looks are official, and given the disappointing flow of the falls, the best views of the time were actually on the approach to the falls prior to getting to its top.
Directions: To access the falls, you'll need to look for a Park Rd entrance into John Forrest National Park leaving the Great Eastern Highway (Hwy 94). The most straight-forward route is if you take the second Park Rd Entrance and then proceed to take the second left towards the car park by the Glen Brook Dam.
