True North - An Amazing Kimberley Adventure

True North is a luxury 5 Star vessel purpose built to explore Western Australia's amazing coastline. This short film shows a snippet of one of True North's signature adventure tours, the Kimberley Wilderness Tour. I was lucky enough to be invited aboard True North to film the first half of this trip from Wyndham to the Hunter River. It was an amazing experience which truly showcased the best the Kimberley has to offer. Without this luxury floating platform accompanied by the Bell 407 helicopter most of this area would be impossible to get to. I will be traveling on the second half of this journey on the 29th August and hope to post some additional amazing scenes.

All the footage was taken with the Canon 5D mk2 using a wide range of Canon lenses. Edited in Final Cut Studio.
