Horizontal falls, the Kimberley; Ways to Declutter Your Mind and Free Up Mental Space

Introduction

Horizontal falls, the Kimberley, Western Australia

This spot will be your next destination if you love marine wildlife including sharks, turtles, dugongs, sea turtles, humpback whales, or even there would be a chance to spot rock wallabies on the hillside at the right time.

Horizontal falls

Take a tour of this unique horizontal waterfall, described by Sir. David Attenborough, a natural historian and former BBC producer, as ‘one of the greatest natural wonders of the world’.

Discover the ultimate natural luxury of nature in Western Australia.

The Kimberley is one of the places you might have never heard of, except for young people on a working holiday in Perth, Australia, where the land of the Aboriginal people has been maintained for thousands, thousands of years..

It is a three-hour flight (about $300AUD) north from Perth to the West Kimberley region. The nearest main airports are Broome and perhaps Derby, these towns scattered across the desert.

●There are no land routes from the airport to this secret spot. We will land at the main airport and travel by seaplane or private boat to get to the closest part of this unexplored area.

We will travel in the manner described above to Talbot Bay facing the Buccaneer Archipelago, and for the first time we will be close to the extremely rare Horizontal Falls Falls

This trip is offered by charter flights.

Scotty, the owner of KimberleySpirit assists ‘Custom-made’ bespoke tour as well.

● All the way to the ‘Horizontal Falls’ as it is called, guests will experience the vast uniqueness of the waterfall as they travel by cruiser jet all the way to the water, in a fast and safe operation. So now, how does the waterfall fall horizontally? This imminent natural wonder has to do with one of the world’s largest tidal movements. As the tide rises and falls, large volumes of water are forced into the two narrow channels, causing a difference of up to four metres in sea level. This causes an unusual movement of the water. With adrenalin rush, heart-pumping boat ride, the views are jaw-dropping and priceless.

The scenic from the airplane is magnificent and inspiring, while the boat ride down the rapids is thrilling and exciting

Here are a few ideas on how to get to the Horizontal Falls;

(1) Book and board a seaplane from the airport in Broome

2) 4WD drive from Broome to Derby to book and board the seaplane

(3) Sea Safari (boat) boarding from Kooljaman, Cape Leveque

(If you’ll be driving up from Perth, you’ll get there in about four days.

These are the common ways. Once the Covid travel restrictions have lifted, come and experience the wonders of nature. If your budget allows, private tours can be arranged as well.

Accommodation

Stay overnight in Broome or Derby in the Kimberley, or use them as a base for your adventure. Despite its reputation as one of Australia’s most remote resorts, there is a wide range of accommodation available. Bungalows, Eco-resorts, Balinese lodges and spas, Vacation villages for caravans (camping cars), all start at around A$150 per night. Hotels by the beach, within walking distance of the beach, are recommended. You can rent a car at the airport by booking in advance. Taxis are available by booking only, so you cannot hail a cab, sorry! No Uber so far. The high season ‘Dry season’ is from April to November, the dry season, when it’s relatively cooler, the tours to Horizontal Falls during the time are usually in groups of seven or eight or more people in a shared seaplane. The adventure range is from the laid-back to the thrilling, but as mentioned above, some people plan their private charters and head out on their own, or for a celebration or honeymoon.

You like outback? Then go further.

For those who want to go further afield, Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm is a good place to touch down, one family moved in the 1960s to set up pearl farming business.

Their property in the bay has been open to holidaymakers since 2009. It is located in the unspoilt wilderness at the tip of the Dampier peninsula, north of Broome. It is a 2.5 hour drive from Broome at 80km/h with 4 wheel drive (4WD) through the desolate, red-soil country known as ‘Pindan’ (Indeginous language).

At the resort, or rather in the outback, the guest lodges are set in rainforest and overlooking the mangroves and the bay and consist of eight safari-style tented suites (with bedrooms and bathrooms) or simple (pearl picker’s specs) hut-style cabins, each with its own private balcony. There is a choice of small safari tents and personal caravans (camping cars with beds), all of which have electricity and water in the campsites (shared showers and BBQs). For those who are elderly or have enough funds, the aforementioned tent suites offer a glamping (glamour camping) with comfortable, clean camping experience.

Their chef-driven restaurant has an outdoor seating area with a dining room overlooking the breathtaking starry sky and waterfront. Open in the dry season for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the pearl oyster meat is particularly popular – scallop style, a delicacy harvested just 100 metres from the restaurant! A dip in the swimming pool is a nice change of pace before a meal. There are no people around and the only thing you’ll encounter are lizards!

Vincity Activities

Tidal Race

Would you like to be part of a rare natural phenomenon known as the tidal race? This fascinating activity only occurs about twice a year in King Sound Bay (Darby), just outside the Fitzroy Estuary (the mouth of the river).

This occurs a few times a year. https://youtu.be/loRr97fOWdg

Montgomery Reef https://youtu.be/Kiypb_-x9vc

At Montgomery Reef, marine wildlife including sharks, turtles, dugongs, sea turtles, humpback whales, and even rock wallabies in the hills can often be spotted at the right time.

Explore the maze of Hathaway’s hideaway and sandstone caves, and enjoy a beach-apéritif and sunset with the sun setting over the Indian Ocean in front of you. It’s an extraordinary experience too, don’t forget your camera.

Do you want to head further into the mid-Kimberley

(a further 9 hours’ drive up north, 4WD only)

Mitchell Falls (Mitchell River National Park)

On land, visit the world’s oldest rock-mural painting, ‘Wandjina’, dating back 100,000 years, where you can get a taste of the ancient cosmic message through expert commentary.

An optional scenic ‘heli-flight’ will let you feel the spray of Mitchell Falls (80 metres high) on the fourth level. You can also walk up.

For myself, being immersed ‘nothingness but nature’ has calmed my half-panicked mentality over my cluttered and tangled life. This is the travel version of tidying up magic, the Kimberley could reset my mentality. So visit this place as a “secret” way of re-organising your life.

And depending on your fitness, there are more secluded places to go…

TRAVEL TIPS FOR FIRST-TIMERS IN INDIA

2022-02-24

India is indeed one of the most fascinating and rewarding destinations to travel in, but it can also be the most challenging and frustrating. First-timers visitors in India can indeed find it even more tough. The land of marvels For many this is the epitome of transformative travel. It’s one of the remaining places on earth from which you can still get a real dose of culture shock. You can discover something new about yourself and about the world, even find yourself or just marvel in the diversity of the landscapes, the vibrancy of the festivals, the fervour of the religion, the colours, the food, the people, the rich history and the fascinating culture. So, if this is your first time travelling in India, keep in mind the following tips! 1. CULTURE SHOCK It might be obvious, but as first-timers in India you have to land there with an open mind and expect the unexpected. For your first time in India, the culture shock can be a challenging assault on all the senses. Be prepared by learning as much as you can about the Indian culture before you arrive there. Then, once there, be open-minded and prepared to adapt the way that you travel to suit India. Leave your western ideals and way of thinking at the airport because they would not apply in Indian culture. 2. AVOID BURNOUT By far, the most common complaint reported by first-time visitors to India is fatigue – simply trying to do too much in too little time. India is vast, colourful and addictive, but have realistic expectations about how much you can see. Take your time and focus just on a state or region. An extensive trip to one particular area can deliver far more than a whistlestop tour of the whole country. Afterall, India

Capital of Yunnan, Kunming is the perfect gateway to the region’s famous touristic sites. But the city itself has enough interests to justify a few days of visit. Compared to the Yu Garden in Shanghai, Guandu Old Town feels rather authentic and not just like a Chinese-style Disneyland. You will notice a mix of different influences, with some of the buildings evocating Tibetan architecture. As usual in this type of place, there are plenty of inexpensive restaurants with traditional food. Be sure to see the Tuzhu Temple and the Miaozhan Temple. Nanping Pedestrian Street is Kunming’s own equivalent to Nanjing Road in Shanghai. It is the place in the city where people go shopping, You have a few Western chains like Starbucks, but most of the stores are local brands. You may find great price opportunities depending of the country you are from (if you live in Western Europe or America it might be a good value to buy clothes and other stuffs). Very close to Nanping Road, there is an other old town, put “Silver Chest Kunming Hotel” on Google Maps, it will lead you to it. Over there you have a lot of teahouses and traditional Chinese backstreets and courtyards, some well-renovated and some in a slightly decayed state.

Each part is dedicated to one minority, with replicas of their housing, people dressed in traditional clothes and some animations if you are at the right time.

Everything You Can Do In Toulouse in Two Days

2020-11-22

Toulouse, also known as the Pink City for the number of brick buildings in its historic center, is one of those cities with a special charm that captures you from the first moment. It has so many things to see and all of them so fascinating that two days in Toulouse are too short. Even so, here we tell you everything that can be done in the capital of Occtiania in two days. Capitol Square, Hall of the Illustrious and Donjon du Capitole The Capitol Square is the physical and nerve center of the city. There is also the Capitol, the most representative building in Toulouse. And for that very reason, you cannot start a visit to the Pink City from a place other than this. The Capitol is the seat of the City Council. It is a grandiose 18th century building. On the outside there are eight colossal marble columns and, inside, the Henri IV courtyard and, entering through a door on the left, a great staircase that leads to the Gervais room with beautiful paintings and the Henri-Martin room with fantastic plays. The star of the Capitole: the Salle des Illustres, with spectacular frescoes on the walls and ceilings, arches, mirrors and sculptures; is to be left speechless, literally. In front of the Capitole there are arcades with images related to the city. There they show, for example, that the famous tango author Carlos Gardel was born in Toulouse with the original name of Carlos Gardel, although Argentines will not agree very much … Lastly, just behind the Capitol, is the Donjon du Capitole. This small tower, which was the former headquarters of the city’s archive, is now the Tourist Office. So, it is also a mandatory stop to make the most of your visit to Toulouse in

QUEBEC CITY: THE CITY OF HUNDRED STEEPLES

2021-09-10

Quebec City is one of the most fascinating cities of the huge Canadian State and the capital of Quebec, the Canadian province of Eastern Canada. This gem is perched on a rocky hill and crossed by the St. Lawrence river. Let’s discover what to see in Quebec City! But before, a bit of history. History Quebec City is undoubtedly the most European of Canadian cities. Indeed I would dare to say it is essentially French. The city of Quebec, founded in 1608 by the explorer Samuel de Champlain, has a fortified centre called Vieux Quebec. Since it is the only city in the whole North America to have a fortified centre, Quebec City became a UNESCO World Heritage treasure. That’s the reason why this part of the city that is the favorite destination for many tourists. Quebec City is a city that surprises for its urban features, the majesty and the historical importance it has had for Canada. In the most important places, in fact, it is possible to touch all the history that characterizes Quebec. Starting from the upper town, the fortified walls and passing the Porte Saint-Louis with the statues of Churchill and Roosvelt, who met there during the Second World War. WHAT TO SEE IN QUEBEC CITY You can plan a 1-day trip to Quebec City and visit basically most of the most famous attractions. Québec City will make you fall in love at first sight: the towers, the grey stone houses, shops and boutiques, the festive atmosphere and the magnificence of the St. Lawrence River. 1. CHATEAU FRONTENAC The sightseeing of tour of this city must start from the Chateau Frontenac. This is indeed the symbol of Quebec City. In 1893, the Canadian Pacific Railroad Company decided to build the Chateau Frontenac. This is a “castle”

The 7 Best Things To Do In Seville

2020-11-08

Seville is one of the most beautiful and most visited cities in Spain. It is a city full of culture and secrets, with a lot of history and endless activities and attractions to discover. The capital of Andalusia is a very special city, it has a very defined personality and shows art everywhere. Seville has a characteristic Andalusian air that is breathed in every corner and offers different corners and historical sites to visit. With the Guadalquivir river bordering the historic center, Seville features the imposing Cathedral with the Giralda, the Real Alcázar and the Triana neighborhood. These are the best 7 things you must do if you visit Seville: Giralda and Cathedral The first thing we have to do when we arrive in Seville is to go to the most famous monument in the city, the spectacular Giralda. La Giralda is the bell tower of the Cathedral. In its day it was the tallest tower in the world at 97.5 m high, as well as being one of the most famous images of the city and of Andalusia. The tower is made up of two different but perfectly united bodies, showing a perfect example of the melting pot of cultures existing in the city. We absolutely recommend going up to have beautiful panoramic views of the city. As a curiosity, it is worth noting the fact that the Giralda does not have stairs, but rather 35 ramps wide enough to allow the Sultan to climb them on horseback to see the beautiful picture that can be seen. Next to it we find the beautiful Cathedral of Seville, located at the foot of the most famous tower in the city. Inside the Cathedral of Seville you can visit the Alabaster Chapel and the Tomb of Christopher Columbus, although there is

Your Guide to Kolkata

2020-12-27

Kolkata receives much less foreign tourists than Mumbai or Delhi. But it is the greatest place in India to understand colonization and post-independence. 1) College Street Book Market Some estimates say it is the biggest book market in the world. Spend time wandering around. Once you bought your books, go begin to read them at the historic Indian Coffee House. Despite the bustling of the place, they always succeed to bring your order in a short amount of time. It will be a more exotic experience than Starbucks (Kolkata has a few of the green shops). 2) Victoria Memorial One of the most impressive monuments left from the colonization, with its giant dome. If you are a non-Indian national the entry ticket is a little bit pricey, but this is the most iconic sight of the city. The interior almost looks like a cathedral. 3) Chinatown As I had visited so many Chinatowns in the world on different continents, I was first hesitant to visit it. I am extremely happy to have been there. This is unlike the Chinatowns of New-York, Paris or Kuala-Lumpur. I had lunch first in a Chinese restaurant with an impressive liquor menu. Speaking Mandarin myself, I was hoping to be able to practice but the owner only spoke the Hokkien dialect. Most of the Chinese immigrants came from Fujian province, like in the United-States. The Chinese Kali Temple is a mix of Hinduism incorporated with some Chinese traditions. All around you can see many warehouses. Most of the Chinese were working as shoemakers and prospered because manipulating leather is a taboo for a large part of the Indian population. 4) Park Street Unlike other cities in India like Bangalore, Kolkata feels very walkable and adapted for pedestrians. Park Street has many historic buildings, the South Park

Your Day in Dijon

2021-01-22

Capital of Burgundy, Dijon is the perfect gateway to the wine country. But the city itself warrants at least a day of visit. It takes only 1 hour and 40 minutes to go there by high-speed train from Paris. Though the railways station is an extremely ugly concrete building, you are only a few minutes by walk from the historic center. A large part of the downtown is reserved for pedestrians, here are the main landmark buildings you should not miss: the Palais des Ducs de Bourgogne is a complex whose parts have been built at different times. The most ancient ones are from the 14th century, but most of them are from the 17th and 18th century in a classical style. Today it is home to the town hall, a museum dedicated to the Beaux-art and a tourism office the Cathedrale St-Benigne is a gothic church from the 8th century. Protected as a historic monument, it is the tallest building in the city with a height of 93 meters. the Place de la Liberation (Liberation Square), named Place Royale (Royale Square) until 1792, is at the heart of the historic district, you can find great restaurants over there. Notre Dame de Dijon, built in the 13th century, has a tower of 74 meters. Admire the many gargoyles on the outside walls.
