Talbot Bay and the Horizontal Falls:  spectacular day.  To appreciate this entry one has to understand the geography; two parallel long hills, water on either side of both upland areas,, (the sea on one side) and small gaps in the linear hills.  Rather like and “H” with two uprights and small horizonal connections.  The tide rises, water pours through one gap and then the other gap as the lakes fill. One after the other.  Apparently David Attenborough declared this the eighth “natural wonder of the world”. 

There are people who fly in by seaplane from Broome, get into boats at the floating reception area and then do what we did – go through the outer gap, then fly out again.

Anyway, the transit thorough whilst the tide is running is quite dramatic.

This is our approach to the wider (outer) gap.  The  tide was flowing out (against us)

This is the narrower gap, through which no-one now goes.

… more like rapids than falls, but hey, who’s quibbling?

Here is the inland bay

After lunch we went up Cyclone Creek (where you take your boat to shelter from a cyclone?)

More spectacular rock formations

… and I saw my first wild saltwater crocodile!
