Ships Log. After leaving Bigge Island, we have now reached Winyalkan Island.
Latitude: -14.553299903 Longitude: 125.427902221. Thank you Google maps.
I must admit, there are some remarkable rock formations on these remote islands off the Kimberley Coast. Winyalkan - about 190 hectares in area - is no exception. Landed on another steep beach, and explored some intriguing narrow caves in the cliff. Extraordinary rocks and a large balancing boulder (above picture) near the entrance.
Once inside the caves, it was single file only. In length, just a few metres, but distinctly spooky.
Torches at the ready, we wondered what lurked in these eerie stone corridors..... On close inspection, I noticed some assorted lichens on the walls. If you have a 'liking" for lichens, then this is the spot for you. Also to be noted on this expedition, a solitary bat hung down from the ceiling of one chamber.
As for buried pirate treasure, we were out of luck. Phew ! It was good to emerge into bright sunshine again outside. And another highlight today - an osprey with a penthouse view atop a rock across the bay.
