Multilevel Mitchell Falls in Australia
Mitchell Falls is a picturesque natural object in the Australian outback and in combination one of the most photographed attractions of Kimberley County in Western Australia. The four-tier waterfall, located in a remote area, has a total elevation difference of about 80 meters. According to Australian directories, it ranks second on the pedestal of the state's highest waterfalls.
Among the sandy desert, like a breath of fresh air, the emerald jets of the waterfall cascade from the rock, strikingly contrasting with the orange earth of the Mitchell Plateau escarpment.
Mitchell Falls is a favorite place for fans of natural masterpieces and travelers, which is actively visited all year round, despite its inaccessible location.
The downward streams feed the Mitchell River, located in the eponymous national park in the depths of Kimberley County. Its waters fall from the top of the rock into a kind of bowl, then descending into the next, thus creating a multi-level cascade.
Like many waterfalls in the tropical region of Northern Australia, the bulk of Mitchell Falls water comes with the arrival of the rainy season, and as the dry season approaches, the flow gradually decreases. Therefore, to see the main attraction of Kimberley in all its glory is possible only in the period of precipitation. However, with the appearance of a magnificent spectacle, unfortunately, there are some difficulties - the local roads are blurred and become completely unsuitable for travel. Of course, if there is a desire, then armed with appropriate vehicles and patience, a visit to the Australian pearl will certainly become a reality. Those who do not have the opportunity to overcome the inhospitable landscape of these places can use the services of a company that organizes helicopter tours, or go there during a period of drought, content with the modest cascades of Mitchell Falls.
The founding of the Mitchell River National Park, bordering the northern end of the Prince Regent Reserve, dates back to 2000. Near the waterfall area has a rich biodiversity: the fauna includes 86 species of reptiles (crocodiles, snakes, lizards), 50 species of mammals and more than 220 birds.
The area around the falls, called the Mitchell Plateau, is equipped with a large number of signs that greatly facilitate the search for routes for walking. Not far from the main attraction of the park is a campground, including parking, security, showers, toilets. There are also flights over the Mitchell River.
The closest to the Mitchell Plateau is the town of Wyndham, located in a southeasterly direction at a distance of 270 km, and Derby, lying in the southwest side and divided with the waterfall by 350 kilometers.
To get to one of the most picturesque natural sites in Australia is best by your own car. You can visit it at any time of the year, however, as mentioned above, the most vivid impressions of contemplating the waterfall will be obtained in the rainy season.
