Boat driver home for 7 months of the year

Amazing landscape of the Kimberley

Horizontal Waterfalls when not much is happening

Talbot Bay

Talbot Bay 4^th June 2012 and what David Attenborough called the Horizontal Waterfalls, I would call rapids.   The waterfall is created by the rapid tidal fall on the ocean side of the gaps in the cliffs; the water on the inland side of the cliffs cannot escape fast enough as the tides are huge and fast and water levels differ by 9 to 12 meters.  Northern Australia has King Tides & is 2^nd highest tides in the world around Derby. The tide peaks at 11.8 meters and drops to 1.5 meters. The famous tides of the Bay of Fundy, Burntcoat, in Nova Scotia has the highest tides in the world.   The smallest tides in the world  occur in the Mediterranean peaking at just 2-3 cm. The Gulf of Carpentaria has no tides as both cancel one another out.   Took a fast boat through the falls and saw where the boat driver lived 7 months of the year.
