There are two sets of falls - one wider than the other. At first, we took a ride through the wide falls in the fast boat but not the narrow one because the skipper deemed it unsafe. We were then treated to a swim in the shark cage and lunch was grilled Barra and salad - beautiful. After lunch, we took a ride up the creek in and out of the gorges and cliffs surrounding this spectacle. The water was so calm and deep turquoise in colour. With the red ochre tones of the rock faces, the scenery was very striking. Cruising through here makes you feel insignificant as a human in this landscape - it is so inspiring.
Later we took another ride through the falls on an outgoing tide and this time we went through the narrow one.
For the flight home, we took the scenic route in and out around Talbot Bay and the archipelago areas of the north west Kimberley. We arrived back at our campsite at around 1500. It was a big day out - one never to forget. Simply stunning!!!!
Oh I forgot to mention...
Les flew us home (see the photos). He accepted a round of applause after we safely landed. You'll see in the photo that he did it with his eyes shut. Les' resume is expanding - experienced pilot, helicopter stuntman, skydiver, caravan repairer, good samaritan and the list goes on.
