Behans & Stones Outback Adventure: Horizontal Falls

The Highlight of the Trip so far ...

Horizontal Falls

(This photo probably would look better turned around, but I don't know how to on Blog, and this is the angle from the Plane).

We flew from Derby over the Horizontal Falls by the above "Kimberley Extreme" Seaplane.

Next we were taken over to the Horizontal Falls on the Kimberley Extreme Jet Boat.

It was so much fun! They came very close to the Falls, then past them, fast turns, then we couldn't believe when they actually took us through them! It was amazing!

Noah became less sure, and even a little worried, then started yelling, "Stop!" Nat yelled, "No, Keep Going!"

The amount of water passing through this gap was amazing.

The First Gap of the Horizontal Falls was approx. 22metres wide. This is the gap we rode through.

The second gap was only 7 metres wide, 40 metres deep, and had approx. 1 Million Gallons per Second passing through it. Needless to say, they didn't take us through it - we were a little worried at driving towards it, thinking they were going to take us through it.

This was heading back towards the first gap again - Backwards! Half way back through it, the driver throttled just enough so that we sat stationery and watched the force of the water pass by us. Fantastic!

We couldn't believe when we arrived back from the Jet Boat Trip, that these "Friendly Grey Nurse" Sharks were just hanging around the boat! Frank & Ralph they had been named by the crew.

After morning tea on a Luxury Yacht, we had another boat trip up one the beautiful surrounding creeks. It was beautiful. And of course, we saw another Saltwater Croc or 2.

Then back to the Luxury Yacht for a BBQ Lunch. Not bad outlook! The boys were mostly blown away by the Free Fanta!
