This morning, we awoke to blue skies and calm seas in the Hunter River in Prince Fredrick Harbor. Several waterways lead from this harbor, and our morning outing was up the appropriately named Porosus Creek. The tide was very low, and we were able to watch several estuarine crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus), feeding on small fish in the mangrove-lined narrow channels off the main creek. It was a real treat to witness these primitive creatures catching prey.
After lunch we relocated a short distance and explored the coastline and mangrove communities on the western side of the harbor. This area also features a geological formation known as Thor’s Hammer.
The day ended with sunset cocktails on the top deck while watching another spectacular Kimberley sunset.
