Fri 6 & Sat 7 July Derby - Horizontal Falls - Broome

Day 28-29

6/7

Up again, out to Derby Wharf to watch the 11m tides turn.  Quite an exceptional experience, it rushes back in.  These pictures are views of the same area over about 2 hours.

    

 

Then onto our Horizontal Falls Adventure experience.

Starting with a seaplane flight to Talbot Bay…

        

Talbot Bay

Horizontal Falls

   

House Boat and pontoon

Waiting for the Horizontal Falls to build up we sat around patting sharks… these continually circled the house boat at all times, quite an eerie feeling looking over the edge to see sharks constantly “waiting”.  These are Tawny nurse sharks.. I think!

 

Then medicine before our trip through the falls.

 

 

 

A better view of our home for the night…

 

Barramundi supplied for dinner, adding our byo drinks and perfect weather – we had a fantastic relaxing night… BUT we also needed to remember what was still lurking below us…

7/7

Up early for breakfast taking in the tranquil setting then on to the Horizontal Falls again.

 

Then on to Broome.  Lunch at Cable Beach… wow what colour the ocean is…

 

 

 

Staying at the Mecure Hotel for our last night with Kyle.  He heads home tomorrow.
