Ironstone Gully Falls

Iron Stone Gully Falls, located just south of Donnybrook in Western Australia's southwest, is a seasonal waterfall that comes to life during the wetter months. Surrounded by jarrah and marri forest, the falls spill gently over rich red ironstone ledges, creating a striking contrast between earthy textures and flowing water. The gully's natural amphitheatre of moss, wildflowers, and rugged rock formations offers a peaceful, intimate setting ideal for capturing long-exposure cascades, woodland scenes, and the subtle interplay of light filtering through the canopy.

In autumn and winter, Ironstone Gully Falls comes alive with vibrant colour - golden leaves, saturated greens, and the deep rust tones of the ironstone itself. The soft sound of water trickling over the rocks adds to the sense of stillness, making it a rewarding location for seeking slower, more contemplative compositions. Whether framing the waterfall from the base, exploring the textured rock shelves above, or capturing the surrounding forest after rain, Ironstone Gully Falls provides all the natural elements perfect for landscapes.
