The river was named in 1911 in honour of King George V. INSIDER TIP King George Falls caught the eye of director Baz Luhrmann, who featured them in his 2008 epic feature film, Australia, starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman.

Easily the most dramatic part of this descent is an abrupt rupture in the landscape about 12 kilometres from the river's mouth.
