King George River

The King George River is a perennial river located in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.

The headwaters of the river rise to the west of the Ashton Range and flow 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-kilometre (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.
We also pulled into a little island which was quite beautiful and also were given our first insight into crocodiles 🐊 and their preferred hangouts.
Our guides ensured that we walked at least 3 metres away from the shore and never with our backs to the water as crocodiles are very opportunistic hunters.Читать далее
