Bell Gorge
Highlights
Bell Gorge in Western Australia’s Kimberley region is like a giant water playground! This 2km return trail takes you to one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the area. Water pours into clear rock pools where you can cool off with a swim—it’s perfect on a hot day.
Surrounded by tall cliffs and fascinating rock formations, Bell Gorge is a great spot for taking amazing photos. The rocks here have been shaped over millions of years, so it’s like stepping back in time. You can even camp nearby if you want to spend more time exploring.
Adult Supervision Recommended: The rocks can be slippery and the cliffs are steep, so stay close to your adults while exploring.
