This morning, we went ashore to view plane wreckage from WWII. We also had an opportunity to explore the mangrove forest and savannah woodland that lined the coast, which rewarded us with some great birdwatching opportunities. We spotted striated pardalotes, redheaded honeyeaters, red-tailed black cockatoos, and we were lucky to spot two adult brolgas (one of two crane species in Australia) and their offspring.
In the afternoon, we repositioned the ship to a small island in the middle of the bay called Jar Island. We went ashore and explored some of the rock shelters and caves to view the ancient rock art of the Bradshaw, or Gwion Gwion style art.
Back on board we saw the most incredible sunset, followed by an amazing full moon rise, which topped off a perfect day on the coast of Kimberley.
