Kimberley cruisers emerge-Darwin to Broome


   After nearly two months of communication blackout,we're in Broome,and have phone ,internet and tv. access again after cruising the Kimberley wilderness.
   We sailed out of Darwin on 18th July, reaching the Berkeley River a few days later.From here on we explored it and the navigable reaches of the King George,Drysdale, Mitchell and Prince Regent Rivers,and many bays,inlets and islands.Most of the rivers were huge gorges,with amazing rock formations, pools and waterfalls behind rugged rockbars, requiring strenuous climbing-We couldn't believe how well Bodi managed to stay up with us and avoid the crocs!
    The beauty of the Kimberley and its variety of land and seascapes has to be seen to be appreciated.
    We had the most wonderful time experiencing it as well as the fun and camaraderie with other boaties.We have selected a sample of our hundreds of photos, to give you an idea of what we've seen .
