King George Falls

King George Falls



King George Falls is a dual waterfall that has an uninterrupted vertical drop of over 80m, making it the tallest waterfall in the
state (at least based on the criteria that of longest vertical drop as opposed to the cumulative drop of Mitchell Falls).

Unless you've managed to make arrangements to see the falls by boat (which I'm not sure how you go about doing that), your best bet is to take an aerial tour. A good one to take is the Mitchell Falls Explorer, which is based in Kununurra and gives you some time to see Mitchell Falls as well as this waterfall. It was on the afternoon leg of the tour that we took.

This waterfall was not be easy to photograph when we visited due to the shadows induced by the recesses of its own gorge that tend to shroud the falls (see photos on this page). You'll probably need to be here when it's cloudy while it has greater flow (such a time for a higher probability of these conditions would be the Wet Season) if you want to get decent photos of the falls.

Directions: Since we witnessed this waterfall as part of the Mitchell Falls Explorer Tour, see the directions on the Mitchell Falls page for specifics.
