Ep7 YOU must do THIS! Why we got stuck on Montgomery reef to have the best Kimberley adventure

Only accessible by boat, we travelled 370 km from Broome, Western Australia to visit the biggest inshore reef of Australia. We had to time our travel to Montgomery Reef as the tides play a crucial role.This place in the Kimberley has one of the biggest tides on earth.The reef gets engulfed with 10m of seawater and at low tide, it appears as if the reef rises out of the sea.David Attenborough voted this as one of most spectacular natural wonders of the world, this place is simply INCREDIBLE!The pool that we snorkel in would not have ever had another human swim in it. Timing the dropping tide, wevget to the nearest small pool to snorkel in. This gets us to access these beautiful blue reef holes for a small period of time before the tide comes rushing back in. We are aware that crocodiles inhabit this area, so we use our drone to survey before diving.We arrive knee-deep in water,by the time we started snorkelling, the water had gone down ankle-deep. Margie records her reef walk with some amazing discovery with a clam and a conch shell ala extra-terrestrial. The variety of corals and fish was mind-boggling. There were so many fish to see. A very big rock cod was watching Ricky and a green turtle was asleep; swim with tawny nurse sharks where the water was rushing out the reef. When we finished snorkelling,we were waist-deep in water. We had to travel at least an hour out to go camping at a beach where Ricky cooks our catch from the previous day: Golden Snapper and Saddle tail. We end our night with a mesmerising campfire. 🚀 If you love fishing, remote islands, and epic Aussie adventures, remember to LIKE, COMMENT & SUBSCRIBE!
