Wooroloo Brook

Wooroloo Brook is a watercourse that runs through the Darling Range in Western Australia. It joins the Swan River (Western Australia) at Bell's Rapids via the nearby Hundred Foot Falls.

The name of the brook is also the name of a number of features and organisations, incliding the Wooroloo Brook Landcare Group, the Wooroloo Brook Land Conservation District Committee. [1]

The brook alignment had been considered a possible route for the connection of the railway routes occurring at the time of the development of the Trans Australian railway. [2][3]

The locality of Wooroloo is in the upper reaches of the catchment. [4]

The catchment runs through the locality of Gidgegannup, Western Australia and the confluence with the Avon River is where the Swan River commences.
