Caption: I'm currently in Western Australia on campaign with Tourism Western Australia to promote Broome and the Kimberley.
For the Kimberley leg we had the absolute pleasure of going out for four days on the famous Kimberley Quest.
The wild, vast and beautiful land that we explored has to be seen to be believed and there's no greater way to see it that by water.. and by air!

The Horizontal waterfall by seaplane, speed boat and helicopter. That's a lot of Horizontal waterfall!

Caption: David Attenborough once described the Kimberley's Horizontal Waterfall as one of the greatest natural wonders of the world! Tidal water rushes between two narrow gaps of 20 meters and 10 meters respectively.

Thanks to Kaz helicopters we had many chances to experience the Kimberley by air! The chopper lands on top of the Quest, pretty impressive if you ask me!

On day two we woke up within the Montgomery reef, 280 sq. kilometers of inland tidal reef. After a chopper ride we took the tender out for a closer look.

Caption: The art at this particular site is touched up by one of the elders. The figure on the left is the Wandjina, a creation God to the indigenous of the Kimberley. The Wandjina has no mouth because with a mouth it would be too powerful. Original art in this cave is up to 40,000 years old!
