Cyclone Creek and the Bucchaneer Archipeligo

Cyclone Creek

Mangroves in Cyclone Creek - you can see how high the tide is

And another view - majestic rocks, beaches and mangroves

Well these are the last few photos of our amazing experience at the Horizontal Falls in the Kimberley.  As I said in a previous blog, Pegasus Metals Ltd. are trying to get mining leases to mine on the Bucchaneer Archipeligo and if it goes ahead this area will be lost.  After having seen it, we can't let it happen.

After our thrilling rides through the Horizontal Falls we went on an eco tour along Cyclone Creek which was a beautiful sheltered creek.  Adrian and Will live there on this open air houseboat with all the mod cons of home.  It was quirky and definitely a batchelor pad.  Apparently its their address for the Census form!!  They also have pet batfish which they feed and we were shown one close up.  Adrian was not gung-ho though and only had "Max" out of the water for a very short time.

On  our way back to Derby we took a slightly longer route and flew over the Bucchaneer Archipeligo in all its glory. 

I shall remember this "trip of a lifetime" for a very long time.

Adieu from The Wandering 2s.
