Welcome to Faraway Bay ...
-
I'd go back just for the breakfasts - home made muesli to die for.
-
All thanks to Dave, our gorgeous chef. Talented, companiable and hated wearing shoes.
-
Decor by nature
-
One of the eight guest cabins.
-
-
You'll never want to leave ...
-
View of the beach from the main deck of the resort. Crocs about, don't be tempted to wade in.
-
Getting cranked up for a day on the water, visiting remote water-holes, deserted beaches ...
-
Kevin's a hands-on kinda manager
-
Suzie's found the only armchair on the boat.
-
The camp at Faraway Bay doesn't leave much of a visual footprint from the water.
-
With such an idyllic setting, we just had to turn up today, and the landscape did the rest.
-
No two blocks of sandstone up here are the same colour
-
-
-
Someone's at home guarding the chicks.
-
-
The eagles up here know all about choosing prime real estate. Have a go at his front verandah.
-
-
-
Taking its place in history.
-
Time for a bush walk ... via the creek.
-
-
I kept expecting Gillian, the Skipper, Professor and Maryanne to appear around the next tussock.
-
-
-
-
Over a little soda-pop, the girls are plotting how to never leave the Kimberley.
-
Don nicely colour-coordinated with the dramatic cliffs.
-
Rossy, not so much.
-
When the bottle runs out .....
-
-
That's the wife up the top of the mast; his highness is down on the deck "supervising".
-
-
This one spans two massive chunks of Australia and is called Guillotine Rock. Pretty freaky nosing the boat right underneath it.
-
Drifting into our lunch spot. Kevin took us to the most incredibly beautiful water-hole for a swim.
-
-
-
-
-
Suzie & Rossy showing a few nerves enroute to a severe dunking
-
There goes the hair-do
-
Had enough yet ??
-
None of us escaped the torture.
-
-
Two crew from the nearby Orion wait patiently for their cruise guests to return from a bush walk, champagne glasses lined up ready.
-
-
-
Our cheeky Faraway Bay guide , very happy with himself for dunking all his passengers today
-
-
We loved that they'd hung the Orion flag - like they'd discovered Australia or something.
-
Steve Duroy is having a terrible time.
-
We've called this one the Wyndham Wave. A mini Morning Glory pays us a visit one afternoon
-
We would have rushed to the airport and jumped into our gliders if we had any.
-
Must be important, Don's even put his cup of tea down.
-
Thar she blows.
-
Gotta love the croc tracks into the bay. There's a resident Faraway Bay croc that cruises around, mostly unseen.
-
-
Perhaps my favourite memory.
-
-
Always a lovely table setting for every meal.
-
Sunset drinks up on the ridge behind the camp
-
-
-
-
-
Breakfast time
-
-
-
-
Who wants a swim .... or not ...
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
See, a journalist NEVER stops working - always on the phone
-
My deadline is WHEN ????? I'm putting my husband on ...
-
Get knicked, she's on holidays.
-
-
-
-
Dave the chef teaches us how to make gnocchi.
-
All the water here at Faraway Bay is spring water. This outside shower is hands-down the best shower I've ever had.
-
-
So remote, so private. This little attol beach is where all the shells of the world have come to retire. Might join them.
