King George Falls & River

King George Falls & River

Nothing beats a new day breaking in the ancient King George River. The symphony of bird calls, echoing through the gorge, schools of fish leaping and the roar of mighty
waterfalls, are sights and sounds that will stay with you forever. To the Balanggarra people, this is Oomarri: home to breathtaking gorges and Western Australia’s tallest duo of waterfalls that flow 300 feet over the edge of the escarpment. This area is widely known as one of the most pristine, untouched wilderness areas on the planet and, no matter what time of year you visit, you’ll be spellbound by this
magnificent gorge. At the tail end of the wet season (March), rain swells the King George River, turning it into a raging torrent that tumbles over the sandstone cliffs and into the tidal waters below. When King George Falls dry to a trickle during the dry
season, boats are able to anchor close, sometimes directly beneath the falls. No matter when you come, the gorge itself is phenomenal and cruising through its towering walls is a once in a lifetime experience.
