After waiting for the high tide to leave Glycosmis Bay, we were able to sail down to the King George River mouth. We had heard the sand banks at the mouth of the river had shifted from previous years thus negating the accuracy of the entrance waypoints we had. The dinghy was deployed to find the deepest channel – bingo! Shallowest depth was 1.2m – heaps of water! We anchored just inside the mouth for the night, ready to meander along the river over the next few days…
This was our meandering…
We motored to the end of the river where during the wet season the twin falls thunder down, leaving the whole basin in a cloud of mist. At this point of the season, it was quite dry…
We found a suitable depth to anchor nearby and found the rock scramble to the top of the plateau, with a promise of some freshwater pools and a swim at the top.
The next day was Freya’s birthday – and what a better way to spend it than climbing to the top of a water fall – east arm of the King George – and have a swim in the freshwater pools at the top!
It was a spectacular day. What an amazing place. So much to explore. Take the dinghy into a small gap in the rocks and you could come across this…
After 4 amazing days, it was time to push on. Back to the mouth of the river to await the tide, and the next adventure…

Hi Mariko! I’m reviewing some of your past blogs and King George River was where we finally met you! In Gantheaume Bay, Broome, we learnt of a family travelling on a catamaran somewhere ahead of us,…..we saw your tag inside the swimming tank in Silver Gull Creek but we seemed to always be trailling you. I actually saw that 4m croc you mentioned and was too frightened to get out and climb up to the water hole. Ahhh, the memories……. 😉
