History

This is an attractive natural feature on Lefroy Brook. It is a scenic spot within walking distance of Pemberton, three miles down the Pemberton- Northcliffe railway line. The walk is interesting as it follows Lefroy Brook all the way and rewards the hiker with frequent glimpses of broken dashing water among the forest, a mirror-like pool, or one broken by a rising trout. At the Cascades the water leaves one of these pools and suddenly pours over a stretch of granite boulders. The Cascades is one of the scenic attractions for people walking the Bibulman Track which traverses the Shire of Manjimup on its way from Kalamunda to Albany. It is also one of the scenic attractions for passengers travelling from Pemberton to Northcliffe on the tramway. This was formerly the Pemberton –Northcliffe Railway line. For more details about the Bibulman Track refer to Beedelup Falls documentation (West Ward). Refer to 16.6 for more historical notes
