In the southern part of Van Sittart Bay, nestles tiny Jar Island. A fantastic place to visit, with some secluded white sand coves, and bizarre rocky cliffs. We made landfall at one such cove on our cruise. Some very interesting Bradshaw aboriginal paintings here.
I wandered off to beachcomb, and take in the scenery, as it was a fascinating place. Whilst strolling down to the other end of the beach, I became separated briefly from the main party who were still examining the aboriginal drawings.
It was an idyllic scene, a typically warm tropical Kimberley day. Suddenly I had a sense that I was not alone. You know that feeling you get - hard to describe - when you feel that someone or something is watching you. Very odd.
I turned around, and looked at the nearest cliff. To my great astonishment, a giant face peered at me.
Soon realised it was a natural formation, eroded over the centuries into the surface of the sandstone rock. Can you too, see this rather sad looking rocky figure in my photograph ? As I am a cartoonist by profession, I felt it merited a small sketch. This is also shown here.
