King George Falls

We drove / walked into King George Falls in 2006.
First problem was getting permission to explore Carson River Station which is owned by the Kalumburu Aboriginal Corporation.
We tried for weeks with zero success through official channels while at Kalumburu during 2005 and 2006, at the same time I spent many hours befriending the Senior Elder of Kalumburu Community who gave his personal permission and we spent a week driving around the station, including getting to the Falls.
We drove as close as we could and then walked about 11km (each way) to the falls. It was a very tough walk over very rough country.

A couple of years later we discovered an old track that had been unused and overgrown for years that got to a point much closer than the one we used. I think that track has come back into occasional use since. Your best chance is to spend many hours looking at the best satellite pics that you can find.

It has now been 20 years since we were there and things have changed.
The station has been leased on at least one occasion, I don't know the current situation, but it may be possible to gain access via the leaseholder. or it might be impossible, I have no idea. Maybe Kalumburu have sold rights to some tourism operator, who knows?

I will say that it would be totally worth the effort to get permission to visit the falls from land and to explore some of the rest of the station, if you can gain permission to do this.
King George Falls is possibly the most spectacular falls and gorge in Australia and just a handful of people ever get to see it, especially from the top.

This last pic is 2 photos stitched together. There was not a lot of water coming over when we were there, but that took very little away from the scene. Maybe a helecopter during the wet season next time?
Took a while, the pics are mis-numbered, but in the right order. :)
EDIT: It is possible to climb up (and down again) from the water to the top of the falls, but we did not find out where. I would guess at the left of the last pic.

Several of the 4WD TV or YouTube shows have made it to the falls, but never mention that the others have done it too. LOL. The TODU team took in quad bikes so saving a walk over blocky terrain...............W

Bricky, if you look at Google Maps on satellite view you will easily find a track coming in towards the falls from the west. Remnants of that track were there 20 years+ ago, but looked very overgrown. It now looks well used. We came in from the south.

In 2007, we were back in that area again. We had been to Oombulgurri Community. One of the couples we were travelling with were locals from Kununurra and we had an invitation to drive into Far Away Bay, but never did unfortunately, otherwise we would have checked out that track.

This tour is punctuated with a visit to King George Falls. Prior to 2021, it was not possible to drive to King George Falls so unless you were lucky enough to visit by boat or helicopter, the most remote and amazing 80m high cascade was off limits. Ronnie cut the track in from Jockey Wheel Creek after the wet season in 2021 so jump at the opportunity to be one of the very few who get to visit this most pristine and private paradise.
