The Cascades
A series of stepped rapids on the Lefroy Brook in Gloucester National Park, viewed from a timber boardwalk. The tramway and the Bibbulmun Track both pass nearby.
The Cascades lie in Gloucester National Park, about 8 km south of Pemberton. Lefroy Brook tumbles over granite in a series of stepped rapids. The water roars in winter and spring, while in summer and autumn the flow is gentler and you can rest on the rocks. The car park has a viewing boardwalk and a short path. The Bibbulmun Track, a long-distance walking trail, also passes here, and the tramway stops nearby. It can be combined with a visit to the Gloucester Tree. Western Australian national parks require a vehicle entry permit (about AUD 17 per vehicle for a day pass, subject to DBCA announcements).
