My 3, 2018. One of the highlights of this cruise was Montgomery Reef, one of the natural wonders of the Kimberley. As described in Wikipedia:, "Covering an area of approximately 400 square kilometres (154 sq mi) and with a length of about 80 kilometres (50 mi), the reef is subject to unusual tidal movements to a maximum of 10 metres (33 ft). When the tide is out vast lagoons, sandstone islets and a central mangrove island are revealed. The outward movement of the tide forms a torrent of water, creating a river cutting through the reef and hundreds of cascading waterfalls. At low tide more than 4 metres (13 ft) of reef can be exposed."
The photographs show a brilliant sunrise from the ship, the torrents of water, and the vast variety of corals.
