Tidal Mudflats, Derby Western Australia_0460
Derby is a small town on the edge of King Sound in the far north of Western Australia. Its tides, rising to close on 12 metres, are the highest in Australia and, as a consequence, the town is surrounded by tidal mudflats and mangroves.
The image here was shot from a 14-seater seaplane approaching the Derby airport following an overnight tour of the Horizontal Falls farther north on the Kimberley coast. The Horizontal Falls are an awesome phenomenon and one of the main reasons that people come to the town. But that’s another story. . .
