Beach Sleep
Away from the mother ship. For those shipmates who were interested. A sleeping overnight experience on a beach. On one of hundreds of unnamed smaller Kimberley islands. Remote and untouched. No facilities.
Each Kimberley night is clear and cool. Every star in the starry night sky shining brightly. A still calm and silence. Interrupted only by the sound of small waves lapping the beach. The sound of the occasional swag zipper opening and closing to check the beach for unusual movement.
Sleep is in overnight swags on dry beach sand well away from water and any threat of crocs.
Beware death adder snakes rumoured to be in the rocks. Navigation beacon light flickering all night on the sandy beach as guidance for the outboard tender if required.
Small beach campfire in the cool Kimberley night. Quiet adventure cruise in the Kimberley Islands of Western Australia.

Beach Camping
All swags were placed well above the waterline in dry sand. All were repositioned further from the water upon consideration it's in a saltwater crocodile environment and after a crew member joked he would take first croc watch and placed his own swag on two metre high rocks. However, there were no mangroves and water was clear and clean. Unfavourable crocodile habitat. Beach overnight swag shipmates wanted an abundance of caution just in case, so moved setup swags further away from the beach towards a gully perhaps a couple of hundred metres from the beach. All shipmates relocating their swags meant I was now the closest swag to the beach. Accessing the situation. I decided best to not move closer to the scrub filled gully or rocks. Who knows what lives in there to emerge at night.
