CRUISE KIMBERLEY ISLANDS CRAB RACES & ROCKS OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA
OVERNIGHT SLEEP ON THE BEACH
SWAGS ROLLED OUT
EXPLORING our
UNINHABATED ISLAND in WESTERN AUSTRALIA
No mangroves. Clear warm water. No croc's. Of course strictly speaking, anywhere in the Kimberley is crocodile habitat.
A large chasm receded back into cliffs on this particular beach foreshore. At the far end of the beach away from our overnight swags. Receding into the cliffs perhaps fifty metres or so. The rock face smoothed by tides and storms. Damp sand felt underfoot with low tide and sounds of small birds twittering up above in the clifftop trees. The yellow beacon light carried from our tender staked in the beach sand still flashing in the early morning light.
Beach swimming is generally regarded as safe on islands far from the coast away from coastal mangroves.
Swimming in a pristine environment. Shipmates along with ship crew together exploring uninhabited islands.
Surrounded by Kimberley rock structures weathered into strange shapes and various colours. The huge high tide marks on rocks are a testament to the powerful forces of nature at play. These marks, etched into the rugged surface of the rocks, tell a story of the relentless ebb and flow of the tides. Each mark represents a moment in time when the sea surged forward with immense strength, leaving its mark for all to see. The sheer size of these tide marks serves as a reminder of the sheer power of the ocean, shaping the coastline over countless years. As the waves crash against the rocks, carving out new patterns and designs, the high tide marks stand as a silent witness to the ever-changing dance between land and sea.
Sometimes impromptu Kimberley sand crab racing was arranged. A few crabs moved quickly to the outer circle drawn in the sand. Others not so. Make your own fun in these remote islands. Frequent swimming is enjoyed in the warm sea by some. All enjoying cruising the untamed Kimberley Islands of Western Australia.
