Jim Jim Falls

Amazing natural scenes. We went as part of a tour, arriving early. When we left (early afternoon) the car park was full. Challenging walk in and out, but well worth it. You can swim to the falls after clambering through across the initial lagoons and rocks. The swim is approx 200m each way across deep water. As you approach the falls, you swim into a strong breeze and small water chop. It’s not for the unfit.

Went to the falls in the last week of September. Absolutely stunning-the high cliffs and deep plunge pool are worth the drive in for sure. The road was fantastic as graders had just gone through. Two ankle high areas of water in the last 5 km of the trail, we managed to make it through in a BMW X5. Quite a bit of a walk in over large rocks (see photos)-we took 40 minutes and are fairly confident walkers.

Thanks Audrey Senior for your review - it certainly helped us today. The road today had a lot of very deep corrugations and rocky ridges through the road. The good news is the graders are there so the road was already in better shape on our way out. It’s a slow trip as it is a 60km speed limit. Please stick to the limit. There were a few people overtaking us in the way out doing up near 100km and the dust created was thick and just hangs. Just because you can drive faster does not mean you should. There is a valid reason for the slower speed limits. We arrived at 10am and there were already a few tour buses there and about 10 cars. We only saw a few people on the walk in. Make sure you wear decent hiking boots for the walk in and out. Even through there were a few people around we did not feel like it was over crowded. If you are not a confident swimmer then take your pool noodles no as the water gets deep quickly. When you go for a swim be warned of the crows. They will go through your bag and pinch what they can. There are 2 of them and one will distract you whilst the other pinches items from your bag so make sure your portions as stored in your bag and your bag is zippered shut. They are cheeky buggers. We left the carpark just after 2pm and there were still people arriving. We were lucky enough to only have 1 car come through the narrow 4wd section of the road from the campground area and were in a position where we could pull over to let them pass. The 4wd action of the track is not too bad. There is water crossings are shallow and there is only a couple of sandy section. The road does twist, turn and undulate so you do need to have the height clearance. The road is quite narrow but there are only a couple of spots where it is difficult to see oncoming traffic. The falls are not flowing at the moment but there is still a lot of water in the area so it’s still worth the trip. Loved it. Would love to stay at the Kim Jim campgrounds and spend more time in the area doing the 6k hike, lookout and twin falls but that will have to be another trip.

One of my favourite places I've visited in Australia, just breathtaking natural beauty!🤩 And people say there isn't a Divine Creator! Big bang definitely didn't make this masterpiece. 🤯 Definitely worth the trek to get to this gem, so rewarding. We also had the place to ourselves which was so nice, truly an experience swimming around there. If you're in the area put this on your bucket list of places to visit!
