King George Falls, Kimberley, (KGF01P)

The spectacular King George Falls, Kimberley, Western Australia by landscape photographer Richard Smyth. As you face the waterfalls cascading, this is the left hand fall.

The aerial scene of the both waterfalls (there are two cascading adjacent to each other – also in this gallery) was featured in the opening credits of Baz Luhrmann’s 2008 film Australia with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. See Richard’s landscape photograph of this named:  King George Falls – Double Waterfall – Aerial View, Kimberley (AKK02).

The river was named in 1911 by explorer Charles Conigrave after a privately funded expedition in the area. The river is named in honour of King George V.

The traditional owners of the areas around the river are the Miwa peoples.

The headwaters of the river rise to the west of the Ashton Range and flows in a northerly direction through the Drysdale River National Park past the Seppelt Range, joined by one minor tributary before reaching its river mouth and emptying into Koolama Bay and the Timor Sea, approximately 70 kilometres (43 mi) east of Kalumburu. The river descends 216 metres (709 ft) over its 112 kilometres (70 mi) course; including a 38–40-metre (125–131 ft) descent over the dual drop waterfall of King George Falls, approximately 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) upriver from the river mouth. The falls are located at an elevation of 84 metres (276 ft) above sea level.

The recorded height of the waterfall varies widely, with some sources claiming the descent is in the range of 80–100 metres (262–328 ft).The area surrounding the falls are popular with tourists who typically view the falls by boat. The falls are in full force from late December through to early May each year and gradually recede to a small flow in September.
