The Horizontal Waterfall of Talbot Bay and Derby in the Kimberley region of North West Western Australia

Back to the Kimberley | Visit the Pilbara

Visit the Horizontal Waterfall, Derby WA

One of the most unusual sights in the Kimberley is the horizontal 'two-way' waterfall of Talbot Bay in the Buccaneer Archipelago.

Massive tidal movements create a waterfall effect as water banks up against one side of the narrow cliff passage, to be repeated again on the turning tide. The sight of turquoise blue water rushing between rugged red hills is best viewed from the air.

Scenic flights leave Derby to co-incide with the best times to view the tides on any given day. Sea safaris depart Derby or Cockatoo Island will also visit the falls.

For more information on travelling to Derby and the Horizontal Waterfall and the North West region visit Western Australia Tourism's website or alternatively the regional tourism website of the Derby offer very useful information.

WA's National Parks & Reserves can be closed at times because of bushfire danger, Cyclone or flooding and other natural emergencies. Phone 1300 657 721 for emergency alerts or visit the FESA for more information. Find out about the National Parks and forests of WA by visititing CALM.
