Broome
Up at 4.30am today as we are being picked up 5.20am for our Horizontal Waterfall Day. We went to the airport and boarded a seaplane for Buccaneer Archipelago and the Horizontal Falls. We flew over 1000s of islands and landed in the waters of Talbot Bay near a pontoon where you can stay the night. We had a cuppa and boarded a 500hp high powered rib "Jet Stream" to go through the falls the water was moving very fast and this was really exciting. Then back to pontoon for a swim in the shark cage and a cooked breakfast egg and bacon rolls, cereal, fruit and yogurt. Then back to the boat to go down Cyclone Creek and look at the stunning scenery. The colours are amazing and the rock formations are very interesting. Back to the pontoon for a change of boats and into a smaller 600hp rib for a very fast trip through both falls, the gaps are very small and water is flowing extremely fast.This was pretty amazing ride. We then boarded the seaplane and flew to One Arm Point andgot in to a 4x4 truck and visited a turtle hatchery. From here we went by truck to Cape Leveque for a barra lunch in the restaurant and then on to Beagle Bay for a cuppa and visit the old church with a peral shell alter. Then a bumpy 100km ride back to Broome arriving about 4.30pm. A very big day but unreal!!
