Quinninup Falls is a nice 10m waterfall that tumbles onto a sandy beach area along the Cape-to-Cape Trail in the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park. It sits in the popular Margaret River Wine Country so you can easily visit the waterfall as part of a food and wine tour.The easiest access to the falls is by taking the Caves Rd towards Moses Rock Rd. Follow Moses Rock Rd until you reach a fork near the coast. From there, head north and follow the unsealed path to a car park. This car park is just one of many stops along the scenic coastal Cape-to-Cape Trail. From the car park, you walk about half an hour to the north until you descend a sandy hill (it's a brutal climb on the way back up) into a drainage area. Then, walk inland along the wash or the trail towards the head of the drainage where you can see the falls. The falls wasn't flowing particularly well when we were there in June 2006 despite rain clouds threatening just off shore. I reckon you'll have to time your visit for later in the winter or early spring to see the falls perform better. There is also another shorter road taking you to the falls as well, but this requires a high clearance vehicle as there are underlying rocks jutting up from the road surface. I think it's on Quinninup Road, but I can't say for sure since we didn't take our passenger car hire through it.
