Date/time: Mar 21, 2006 12:00 local Position at noon: 15030' S & 125009.5' E Crew Ben, Brad, & Kevin Goal: Explore Kimberley area Remarks: We're doing a lot of river travel, some by 'Idlewild' and some by 'Sidekick'. Went up the Purulba to the shallows, then went up the Prince Regent to Camp Creek and up it to the falls. Very nice and beautiful clear pools above with sand and sandstone beaches. Very impressive. Yesterday took Idlewild 12 miles up PR River to King Cascade Falls which are truly spectacular. Pictures about Mar 30. They are a big falls over a series of sandstone ledges. Recently this area has had the most rain in recent memory so the falls are at their best. We could get right up to them and enjoy the mist, but we needed to be back to our anchorage before mid tide as the river gets impassable then. http://www.travelaustralia.com.au/wa/the_kimberley_and_broome-2.html http://www.kimberleycruise.com.au/photo_gallery.asp Back at anchorage, sit back with a cool drink, a light breeze and count your blessings. Saw some more crocs at night including a 15' long one climbing the bank, and during our travels we see Sulpher Crested Cockatoos as well as unidentified birds. There is a 28' tide here that gave some good sized whirlpools near us last night on way back. Not dangerous but they require diligence always.
