Lane-Poole Falls is a pleasant 10m waterfall that involves a very relaxing walk amongst karri trees.
We were there when the falls had minimal flow in June 2006. However, I'd imagine the falls would get mistier and fatter around the July/August time frame when more rains would have fallen (barring a drought).
The falls is situated between the township of Northcliffe and Shannon National Park. It made for a pleasant diversion as well as an excellent excuse to see the towering karri trees that only grow in the temperate climate of the southern WA. In fact, we actually enjoyed the forest walk amongst the karri trees more than the waterfall itself. Not only were there towering trees for a fair bit of the walk, but there were also interpretive signs along the way to keep us occupied while learning a little more about the ecosystem here.
The walk to the falls is about 45-60 minutes each way. Towards the end of the walk, there's a slippery downhill path with a handrail to assist with our balance. The path ultimately terminates at a hexagonal platform right in front of the falls.
Directions: To get to the car park, continue heading south from Northcliffe (you need to turn right at the 4-way intersection if you're heading south) until you see a well-signed turnoff heading east. From there, you follow the unsealed road for another 45 minutes or so. Once at the car park, you'll notice the giant Boorara Tree (I've also seen it called the Boolara Tree) towering over you, which makes for a nice bonus on this hike.
It bode ill. "I can't remember the last time it rained," the man in Devonport had said. And there I was looking forward to photographing waterfalls. Things change though;...[more]
