The Horizontal Falls are amazing. We were picked up at 5.30am, driven to the airport, boarded a sea plane - yep, a seaplane!!!! - and after an hours flight over the cattle country of Broome, and the Buccaneer Archipelago, we landed at the falls and the fun began. After a cooked breakfast we went on a nice cruise up the cyclone creek catchment then back to home base to have a cuppa and feed the sharks. Then onto another boat (really fast one!!!!) and through the falls we went, several times!!!! We then got back on the plan and flew to One Arm where we were met by our 4WD bus, taken to the local fish hatchery, and stopped at Cape Levique for lunch. Back on the bus, a stop at Beagle Bay and then home. We were pooped!!!!!
After recovering from that trip we then headed off to the Bungle Bungles. Lots of great free camps on the way, with NOTHING in between. WA is one big state.
The Bungle Bungles were pretty interesting. After a 2hr fairly rough dirt road in, we then got to drive a further 40 odd k's on slightly better dirt road to the points of interest in the National Park. We walked into the the Cathedral Gorge, and I had a snooze in the car whilst Wayne did the Echidna walk. Then we had the joy of the 2hr drive back!!! Another very busy day, and a very dirty car.
There have been some pretty good free camps on the way and we have met and then run into again some really nice people. Lovely sitting together chatting as the sun goes down each day. Surprisingly, a lot of them are Qldr's........
