Horozontal Falls

We were very lucky to be able to book onto an overnight trip to the Horozontal Falls coinciding with a full moon. We travelled to Derby the day before and enjoyed a wonderful seafood meal at a restaurant overlooking the Derby jetty, and timed it to sit and watch the sun setting over the jetty, a truely geat experience. The next afternoon we were taken by seaplane over some stunning coastal areas marked by extensive tidal flats, and a miriad of dendtric little rivulets of water finding its way influenced by the huge tides of the region. We arrived at Talbot Bay where we boarded a powerful boat to first explore some of the picturesque tributaries before an exhilirating ride to view and then ford the raging tidal flow escaping through the narrow entrance into the beautiful and expansive bay behind.

We then returned to houseboat accomodation where we had a delicious meal of barrumundi washed down with a delicious white wine, and settled in to enjoy both a magnificent sunset, and then the glow of a full moon over the glassy waters of Talbot Bay.
