• Horizontal Falls

    Aug 4–5, 2024, Indian Ocean ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    Another bucket 🪣 list item ✅️. The power of a 10m tide movement is totally mind blowing 🤯, especially as it fights to get through gap before tide change. Ted, insisting that we can have a little look from safe distance, drove us through the first fall. OMG I nearly 🦑 myself as the whirlpools pulled and pushed us around...i thankful it only mid tide at the time. We returned at bottom of tide, after all the tourists had left, to see a wall of water rushing in, about 1.5m above our hight. Fantastic experience but 1 night was enough....the place is 🤪 town with cruise 🚢 , 🚁, seaplanes and jet boats.
    We exit midday, stopping in a deep pool for the night (drone 1 died here so no photos) then around the corner to Melomys Islands next day... sml hike, unsuccessful 🎣 & dinghy raft up to watch tide rush out...wicked couple of days. Super excited for next adventure...Montgomery Reef 😀
