We were picked up at our accommodation by bus and driven to the Broome airport where we boarded a seaplane to fly up to Cape Leveque and across to where the falls are. For some reason I was picked to sit in the copilot seat- so exciting!
This is your captain speaking, please fasten your seat belts (and pray) while I er, twiddle a few knobs and try to work out how the hell to drive this thing!
After a beautifully scenic flight up the coast and over the Buccaneer Archipelago we made a smooth landing on the bay and pulled up at the houseboat base.
The water was so clear we could see dolphins and turtles swimming around from the air.
The plane, the houseboat and the speed boat to the right
Soon after arrival we were into the speed boat for a ride through the falls and a cruise around the bays. It was so much fun and really exhilarating whizzing around in that boat. Gaz was most impressed with the 3x 300HP motors on it, making it the fastest boat in the Kimberly. The scenery is just breathtaking as well.
40m deep and 7m wide
After a delicious bbq barramundi lunch it was off to swim with the sharks. Which is not as impressive as it sounds since the sharks are not exactly great whites, although they do have teeth that could do some damage, and we were in a cage.
That's me in the black bikini and snorkel..... Oh alright, I'm on the left, pants on fire...
Yep, I'm a daredevil, fly planes, ride speed boats and wrestle sharks in my spare time!
After lunch we had another boat ride then it was time to fly home, this time with the beautiful sunset all the way, bliss..
Pop and Nan, two happy campers.
