Day 19 – Horizontal Falls

We spent a quiet morning before being picked up and taken to the airport for our flight to Cygnet Bay and the Horizontal Falls. Our original trip, which included a boat ride through the falls, had been cancelled and this was the next best thing.

Our pilot was Michael, who was a bit of a larrikin, and our co-pilot was Donna. Trip up the coast was a hit bumpy. I’m a nervous flyer at the best of times so having the little plane getting bumped around didn’t do me any favours.

Passengers – the one in green is a bit nervous
Our trip is the yellow line – up the coast and then tracking to Broome from Horizontal Falls
The colours were magnificent

We landed at Cygnet Bay and enjoyed a lunch of barramundi. We then had a tour and talk about the pearl farm.

The second time in the air was a lot smoother as the wind had died down a bit. We flew over Horizontal Falls a few times – not as good as riding thorough them but definitely worth seeing.

After landing back in Broome, we went to the Roey Pub to enjoy a dinner more to Wayne’s liking. A taxi home and our last touring day was complete.

    You guys look like you are having the best time, and the photos are amazing, the horizontal falls are one I haven’t done and so would have liked to do but they don’t do wheelchair people. I have done lots of your travels but that was in my cut loose on the piss around Australia trip so it’s good to see it again.😜 Barby
