Kimberley Cruise Day 3. 9 July 2012

A busy day. By Xplorer to Hathaway's Hideaway named for a Mrs Hathaway who found the cave system while wandering alone (the crew used to drop her off while they did other stuff)

Then a chopper ride to Mitchell Falls taking off from the beach at Winyalkan.

The visitor is a Tawny Reef Shark.... harmless we were told.  This one was about 3m long.

Our good ship, Oceanic Discoverer.  Xplorer can be seen in its cradle at the stern.
Xplorer drops us off at Hathaway's Hideaway.


Was a bit squeezy in places.



Waiting for Xplorer's return.

Our visitor!



Winyalkan Beach International!



There were 3 or 4 other choppers operating at the Falls.



Xplorer does another trip while the chopper does its stuff.




The Nullarbor

Diesel over $2 per liter here!
Whale watching at the Head of the Bight.
Only camel we saw was having a big sleep!
Mmmm... no trees.
