Joffre Falls
Joffre Falls is a tall and attractive seasonal waterfall that tumbles into a natural amphitheater in the red-cliffed Joffre Gorge. You'll want to time your visit to this falls either during the Wet Season (though roads may be impassable that time) or at the start of the Dry Season. Wait any longer and the falls will dry up. Since the falls sits in a shaded gorge, photographing the falls isn't easy due to the presence of shadows (see photos on this page). I reckon you'll have to be here at around midday when the sun is likely to shine right into the gorge. Either that or you wait until the entire falls is in shadow (early morning or late afternoon) and photograph the falls that way. The car park for the Joffre Gorge Lookout (and the hence the falls lookout) is about 31km west of the Karijini National Park Visitor Center. Look for a signed turnoff for the Joffre Gorge and Knox Gorge off the unsealed Banjima Drive and take it for another 2km to the car park. From there, it's a less than 10-minute walk to the platform looking into the shadowy gorge. Tell us about your experience with this waterfall.
