Just one year ago we visited the Kimberley in Western Australia exploring the coast line for nearly two weeks on the True North and with helicopter rides. Picture shows Montgomery Reef which has an unusual wide tidal range, up to 10 metres (33 ft). When the tide is out, vast lagoons, sandstone islets, and a central mangrove island are revealed. The outward movement of the tide forms a torrent of water, creating a river cutting through the reef and hundreds of cascading waterfalls. At low tide, more than 4 metres (13 ft) of reef can be exposed.
