Australia's West Coast



By Michael Fletcher

My second last trip on True North. I have practically circumnavigated Australia during the last year on this magnificent vessel.
My journey on this occasion started in Fremantle, Western Australia and ended in the Port of Dampier. Along the way we visited the Abrolhos Island's, Steep Point, Dirk Hartog Island, Shark Bay, Coral Bay, Ningaloo Reef, and the Montebello Islands.
Once again the remote beauty of Australia was in full display with amazing coastal headlands, tranquil bays, coral atolls, and windswept islands abounding with life. Life under the water was just as impressive with spectacular diving, snorkeling, and fishing.
Along with the visual spectacular came an amazing history, from savagery and barbarism on the Abrolhos Islands, to Atomic testing in the Montebello's. It was truly
amazing to think what had taken place in this incredibly remote region of Australia.
As I speak True North has started it's iconic Kimberley Wilderness season and will be thrilling the lucky few who will have the privilege to witness one of the worlds greatest' wonders.
I have come a full circle and wish to once again visit the Kimberley. The experience on "True North" goes beyond my feeble little videos. Nothing can replace a real life experience.
My advice to anyone who want's to be moved by a unique holiday adventure, get on True North and experience the wonderment of Australia's hidden treasures.
