Pallinup River
[4] The Pallinup rises 10Â km southeast of Broomehill, and flows in a southeasterly direction toward the coast passing through Kybelup Pool and discharging into the Southern Ocean via Beaufort Inlet.[5] The river is ephemeral and the estuary at Beaufort Inlet can be closed to the sea for long period of time by a sand bar in the channel.Increased salinity, loss of riparian vegetation, weed invasion, erosion and high nutrient levels are all problematic.Much of the river is fenced but sections were lost in the 1955 and 1982 flood events.It is estimated that 85% of the catchment area is cleared mostly in the upper reaches of the river.
