It was up, up and away on Thursday as Dave and I took to the sky to experience the famous Horizontal Falls.

Our 24 hour jam-packed adventure will be the subject of a couple of blogs so today I thought I’d share the patterns created by the river systems flowing into the gulf with huge tide variations of around 10 metres.

We flew over quite hilly terrain where there were some controlled burns as part of the land management system here.

After about a half hour flight we see the Buccaneer Archipelago and catch our first sight of the Horizontal Falls and our destination in Talbot Bay.

Let the adventure begin!
