Through the Eyes of a Wombat

An early start today was very very worth it, flying a scenic with a lovely couple of Canberrans around the Kimberley. From a slight delay in Derby getting fuel (and chatting to the group of ultralight pilots on a tour around Australia from... LaTrobe Valley) we picked up time, and headed north to some waterfalls, still spectacular enough in the dry season, and I can only imagine how they look in the wet.
Flights from all over the place were converging on the major attractions of the area, including the Horizontal Waterfalls, which unfortunately weren't waterfalling at the time, but I shall post some good pictures when I have them. We did get some good views of Australia's largest pearl farm, the islands of the Buccaneer Archapeligo, and the red sand cliffs at Cape Leveque.
Cape Leveque was our lunch spot, and with a few hours to spare, I absolutely couldn't resist the lure of the beach, and the warm, clear water. Despite having only my uniform, I was undeterred, and went swimming anyway, being fairly confident that I'd dry off in time to fly back to Broome.


With a beach that looks like this, could you have refused?
