Joffre Falls
A stepped waterfall in a natural amphitheatre of rock, best viewed from the lookout when water flows strongly after the wet season.
Joffre Falls sits at the head of Joffre Gorge, where curved rock walls form a natural amphitheatre. Water cascades down layered rock steps. It is most spectacular after the wet season, when water is abundant, while in the late dry season it often dwindles to a trickle. From the Joffre Gorge day-use area, right next to Karijini Eco Retreat, it is a few minutes' walk to the lookout. The trail down to the base of the falls is grade 5 and involves climbing, taking about 1 hour return. It is easy to visit on the way back to the retreat, and the light is best in the evening.
