Flyabout around Australia's coast - Derby

During my flight around Australia's coast, I landed at Derby in the northwest of Western Australia. It's located on King Sound and the last part of the flight from Mount Hart Station was across miles and miles of mud flats as you can see in the photo.

Derby is a major centre for the Kimberley area and is a jumping off spot for the spectacular gorges in the region, like Windjana and Geikie.

It's also one of a few places in the world that has high tides like the Bay of Fundy in Canada.

And by the way, the airport was miles from town.
