Voyages of Discovery on the Kimberley Coast
| Towering cliffs of russet hued sandstone, thundering waterfalls plunging sheer into deep dark pools, broad placid rivers flowing from deep in the high plateau country. Hundreds of islands, green and wooded or steep and craggy; clean broad beaches on green fringed bays, racing currents and whirlpools fed by thirty-foot tides, cool shade in the remnants of a tropical rainforest. Secluded bathing pools fed by tinkling freshwater streams. primeval crocodiles slithering off mud banks; | a solitary sea eagle commanding the skies; dolphins sporting playfully; perhaps a pod of migrating whales; a rare dugong; or that unique bird sighting. This is the Kimberley coast unchanged over centuries; unsullied by the trappings of civilisation. No roads, no hotels, no towns. Now you can join the privileged few who have enjoyed the Kimberley experience, in comfort and safety yet without leaving so much as wheel tracks or a campsite scar. |
