KING CASCADE
The Kimberley coastline features thousands of kilometres of islands, gorges, hot orange bays and thundering waterfalls. King Cascade on the Prince Regent River is far from the mightiest of the Kimberley s features, but is so well arranged it almost appears to belong to a well-landscaped country estate. Refreshing water pours off a series of cubic sandstone rock ledges, flanked on either side by pretty vivid-green ferns and stands of eucalyptus trees. If your boat nudges forward enough, you can stand on the prow and get a welcome drenching as relief from the river s oppressive heat. See australiasnorthwest.com
