Trevor and Leo head out at Porosis Creek for a spot of fishing.
- The Kimberley Coast stretches over 13,000 kilometres of rugged coastline in the far north of Western Australia, bordered by the Timor Sea to the north and the Indian Ocean to the west.
- The region experiences a tropical climate with distinct wet and dry seasons, with the wet season bringing heavy monsoonal rains and the dry season being characterised by warm, sunny days and cool nights.
- Due to its remote location, one of the best ways to explore the Kimberley Coast is by boat, whether via luxury cruises or smaller expedition tours, allowing visitors to access otherwise inaccessible areas.
- The Kimberley Coast is one of the most remote and pristine regions of Australia, featuring rugged cliffs, hidden coves, and unspoiled beaches, making it a popular destination for adventure travellers and nature lovers.
- The coastline is home to diverse marine ecosystems, including coral reefs, humpback whales, dolphins, dugongs, and sea turtles, making it a hotspot for marine life and eco-tourism.
- The Kimberley region has a rich Aboriginal history, with many sacred sites and rock art galleries, such as the ancient Wandjina and Gwion Gwion paintings that date back thousands of years.
- The region experiences some of the highest tides in the world, with tidal movements reaching up to 11 meters, dramatically affecting the landscape and marine life.
